Abstract Title:
Imbalances in the male reproductive function of the estuarine crab Neohelice granulata, caused by glyphosate.
Abstract:
The effect of glyphosate, both pure and formulated (Roundup Ultramax®), was evaluated on males of the estuarine crab Neohelice granulata, by means of both in vivo and in vitro assays. The in vivo assays comprised the exposure for 30 d to 1 mg/L of the herbicide, until finally assessing weight gain, levels of energy reserves, sperm number per spermatophore, proportion of abnormal spermatophores, and sperm viability. At the end of this assay, significant (p
