In this study, the acute toxicity and the in vivo effects of commercial chlorpyrifos, carbofuran and glyphosate formulations on cholinesterase (ChE), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities of the mosquitofish (Gambusia yucatana) were investigated.

An increased accumulation of antioxidant enzymes including ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase, thioredoxin h-type, nucleoside diphosphate kinase 1, peroxiredoxin and a superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn] chloroplast precursor in the glyphosate-treated sample suggests that a glyphosate treatment possibly generates oxidative stress in plants.

Larval glutathione S-transferases activities were strongly induced after exposure to propoxur and moderately induced after exposure to benzo [a] pyrene and glyphosate.

3969683 Hietanen E, Ahotupa M, Heinonen T, Hamalainen H, Kunnas T, Linnainmaa K, Mantyla E, Vainio H: Enhanced peroxisomal beta-oxidation of fatty acids and glutathione metabolism in rats exposed to phenoxyacetic acids. Toxicology. 1985 Feb;34(2):103-11.

Peroxisomal beta-oxidation of fatty acids and the activities of glutathione-metabolizing enzymes in rat liver were measured after administration of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), clofibrate [ethyl], 2-(p-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropionate], glyphosate (N-phosphonomethyl glycine, a herbicide not structurally related to phenoxy acids) or saline for 14 days. beta-Oxidation increased by 6-fold in the group given clofibrate, 3-fold in the 2,4-D-treated group, and 2-fold in the MCPA-treated group over the level in the controls (saline-treated).
A slight decrease in glutathione S-transferase activity was found in the group treated with clofibrate.

Both 2,4-D and MCPA increased the hepatic epoxide hydrolase activity and decreased the hepatic glutathione S-transferase activity.

The formulation of Roundup consists of the herbicide glyphosate as the active ingredient with polyethoxylene amine added as a surfactant.
Roundup exposure generally suppressed the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in fish tissues.
