How Glyphosate Impairs Liver Condition in the Field Lizard<i> Podarcis siculus</i> (Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1810): Histological and Molecular Evidence

<p>MT and type IV collagen localization in lizard liver. (a, b) MT localization: in untreated animals (a) the protein is evident in Kupffer cells (↑); in 0.5 <i>μ</i>g/kg bw Gly-treated animals (b), MT is evident in the cytoplasm of some clusters of hepatocytes. (c, d) Type IV collagen detection: in untreated animals (c) slight positivity is evident in the liver; in 0.5 <i>μ</i>g/kg bw Gly-treated animals, nodular/fibrotic structures are strongly positive to the antibody (<i>◄</i>). (B’): control of reaction. Proteins localization does not change in 0.05 <i>μ</i>g/kg bw Gly-treated lizards (data not shown). The bar is 30 <i>μ</i>m.</p>
