PG - 111560 LID - S0278-6915(20)30450-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.fct.2020.111560 [doi] AB - We investigated the effects of perinatal exposure to a glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH) or glyphosate alone (Gly) on female fertility and the hormonal and uterine milieu during the preimplantation period. F0 pregnant rats orally received a GBH or Gly in a dose of 2 mg of glyphosate/kg/day from gestational day (GD) 9 until weaning. F1 females were evaluated to determine the reproductive performance on GD19; and the sex steroid serum levels, the expression of estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha), progesterone receptor (PR) and implantation-related genes on GD5 (preimplantation period). GBH and Gly induced preimplantation losses in F1 rats. GBH and Gly groups exhibited higher 17beta-estradiol serum levels, without changes in progesterone. Both compounds increased the uterine ERalpha protein expression, with no differences at transcript level; and only Gly decreased PR mRNA expression. Also, GBH and Gly downregulated Hoxa10 and Lif genes, with no difference in Muc1 and Areg expression. To conclude, perinatal exposure to a GBH or Gly disrupted critical hormonal and uterine molecular targets during the receptive state, possibly associated with the implantation failures. Overall, similar results were found in GBH- and Gly-exposed rats, suggesting that the active principle might be the main responsible for the deleterious effects. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
