Abstract:

Glyphosate, a commonly used herbicide in agricultural and residential settings, has sparked concerns regarding its potential health impacts. Despite numerous studies exploring potential associations between glyphosate exposure and diabetes, the precise mechanisms remain unclear. Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) and Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) are implicated in insulin resistance and pancreatic beta cell dysfunction, playing crucial roles in diabetes pathogenesis, especially Type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to assess the effect of glyphosate on TNF-α and IGF-1 expression in male Wistar rats. The results revealed a dose-dependent increase (p<0.05) in TNF-α and IGF-1 expression in adipose tissue following glyphosate exposure compared to the control group. These findings suggest that glyphosate exposure may contribute to the development of diabetes by altering the expression of IGF-1 and TNF-α.
