Evaluation of herbicide glyphosate effects in the fish Prochilodus lineatus using chromosome aberration test

The widespread use of glyphosate has been subject of numerous controversies since the prolonged exposure to low concentrations of this substance could lead to toxic effects. Then, the appearance of pathologies in medium and long term progressively will increase because of the exposure of people and...

Caramello, C. S. Jorge, M. J. Jorge, N. L. Jorge, L. C. fish glyphosate exposure chromosome aberrations mutagenesis. Pez exposición al glifosato aberración cromosómica mutagénesis The widespread use of glyphosate has been subject of numerous controversies since the prolonged exposure to low concentrations of this substance could lead to toxic effects. Then, the appearance of pathologies in medium and long term progressively will increase because of the exposure of people and animals through the consumption of contaminated water or food. Considering this, the aim of this study was to evaluate the potential mutagenicity of glyphosate herbicide in fish (Prochilodus lineatus) using the test of chromosome aberrations. The fish were exposed to 0,1 ug/l of glyphosate for 70 days. After this period, samples of the anterior portion of the kidney were extracted for chromosomal aberrations (CAs) analysis. A greater number of CAs (gaps, breaks, stickiness, endomitosis, fragmentations, and pulverizations) were observed in individuals exposed to the pesticide. The statistical analysis of the data showed significant differences between the control and treated groups. In this way, the results suggested the existence of a genetic response as a consequence of pesticide exposure in fish. El uso generalizado del glifosato ha sido objeto de numerosas controversias, ya que la exposición prolongada a bajas concentraciones de este agroquímico podría dar lugar a efectos no deseados o nocivos. Ello favorecería la aparición de patologías en el mediano y largo plazo, lo que aumenta progresivamente el riesgo de exposición en seres humanos y animales, a través del consumo de agua y alimentos contaminados. Teniendo en cuenta esta premisa, el objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar el posible efecto mutagénico del herbicida a través de la prueba de aberraciones cromosómicas en peces de la especie Prochilodus lineatus. Los peces fueron expuestos a 0,1 ug/l de glifosato durante 70 días. Después de este período una muestra de la porción anterior del riñón fue extraída para el análisis de aberraciones cromosómicas (AC). En los individuos expuestos al pesticida se registró mayor número de AC. El análisis estadístico de los datos mostró diferencias significativas entre los grupos control y tratado. Los resultados sugieren la existencia de una respuesta genética causada por la exposición y el contacto de los especímenes con el herbicida.
