Study Reveals Mechanisms of Kidney Injury and Cancer from Exposure to Weed Killer Glyphosate

Additional predictions from databases indicate “that glyphosate’s co-toxicity primarily involves kidney injury.
As a note, nitrogen metabolism is the pathway with the highest enrichment [higher statistical significance] in both glyphosate-induced kidney injury and kidney cancer, which offers insight into less-explored mechanisms of glyphosate toxicity.
Multigenerational effects from glyphosate exposure are also documented, with research associating cancer development with DNA alterations through oxidative stress mechanisms.
