Glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH) using is increasing on a global scale. Few studies have investigated the sub-lethal effects of GBH in endemic amphibian species. The present work tested the GBH Roundup Active (R) on the tadpoles of Dendropsophus molitor. The exposure was in a range of plausible environmental concentrations (0-0.75 mu g a.e./L) during a month. D. molitor is an endemic tropical frog of South America. The exposure from 325 mu g a.e./L caused histological alterations in the liver. The high-resolution optical microscopy (HROM) detected sinusoidal dilatation and cytoplasmic vacuolization. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed disorganization of the endoplasmic reticulum. Since the liver is essential for detoxification, these results suggest choric effects. Exposure to another GBH has caused histological alterations in liver tadpoles liver in a previous study, but, this study tested another endemic South-American frog for only 96h. The present work applied HROM to observe lipid alterations since it does not use organic solvents; and TEM for the ultrastructural observation of hepatocytes. Environmental risk of GBH can improve by including sub-lethal effects in endemic species. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
