Citrate functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are employed for various purposes‐including environmental remediation but the interaction of IONPs with aquatic contaminants is poorly understood. Among those, glyphosate‐based herbicides are toxic and affect target organs such as the liver. Evaluations of livers of female Poecilia reticulata by exposures to IONPs at a concentration of 0.3 mg/L were performed with association to: (1) 0.65 mg of glyphosate per litter and (2) 1.3 mg of glyphosate per litter of Roundup Original, and (3) glyphosate P.A at 0.65 mg/L. These associations were carried out progressively, after 7, 14, and 21 days. We detected circulatory disturbances, inflammatory responses, activation of the immune system, regressive changes, and progressive responses with changes in the connective tissue and decreased glycogen reserve from days 14 to 21. Ultrastructural changes in the Disse space and microvilli of hepatocytes indicated decreased contact surface area. In general, the damage was time and concentration dependent, increasing from 7 to 14 days and tending to stabilize from 14 to 21 days. Therefore, herbicide‐associated IONPs functioned as xenobiotics inducing intense cellular detoxification processes and activation of hepatic immune responses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
