Glyphosate Exposure Linked to Rising Fatty Liver Disease
"*Glyphosate linked to fatty liver disease - The researchers concluded that people exposed to higher levels of glyphosate and its breakdown metabolite, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), showed greater signs of liver dysfunction and higher fatty liver index (FLI) scores. The strongest effects were seen in women ages between 40 and 60 with borderline diabetes. *Glyphosate level in urine is a key indicator - Researchers used urine samples to show how much glyphosate was in the test subjects."
"*Other chronic diseases are at play - The researchers found that groups with the highest levels of urinary glyphosate also had more instances of high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, obesity, and Type 2 diabetes. *Glyphosate triggers inflammation - Based on the animal studies included in the analysis, the researchers noted that glyphosate is highly likely to cause liver inflammation, which leads to scarring, oxidative stress, and fat buildup. Mechanistically, it interferes with the fat metabolism process in your cells, which leads to dysfunction."
Higher glyphosate and AMPA levels associate with increased liver dysfunction and elevated fatty liver index scores, with the strongest effects in women aged 40–60 with borderline diabetes. Urinary glyphosate measurements correlate with greater hepatic fat accumulation and progression to fibrosis. Populations with the highest urinary glyphosate also show higher rates of hypertension, chronic kidney disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Animal data indicate glyphosate causes liver inflammation, oxidative stress, scarring, and fat buildup by disrupting cellular fat metabolism. Early-life glyphosate exposure increases the likelihood of larger health impacts later in life. Urinary biomarkers can indicate exposure and potential liver injury risk.
