The Ability of Glyphosate to Impair Metabolic Homeostasis Via the Gut Microbiome and Metabolites
PROJECT SUMMARY The prevalence of obesity and diabetes continue to rise unabated in the United States, creating a grave social and economic burden. Although development of these diseases is multi-faceted and complex, there is accumulating evidence for the impact of environmental chemical exposures on metabolic homeostasis. Currently, glyphosate is the most commonly used herbicide in the United States, however, to date, no studies have ever assessed whether glyphosate exposure impacts the development of obesity and diabetes. Thus, the long-term goal of this project is to better understand how recent and current pesticide usage can impact long-term metabolic homeostasis. Glyphosate targets…
