Due to the increase in food production in the last years, the use of pesticides has also increased significantly. These pesticides pollute aquatic ecosystems and harm non-target organisms, such as fish. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate possible differences of three commercial formulations of glyphosate (Orium®, Roundup Original® and Biocarb®) on changes in biochemical parameters of silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of 2.5 and 5.0 mg/L for 96 hours. The parameters analyzed were the TBARS levels (thiobarbituric acid reactive species), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glucose, glycogen, lactate, protein, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and the aspartate aminotransferase (AST). The TBARS levels were increased in the tested concentration of the herbicides. In the muscle, the TBARS levels were decreased in both concentrations of Orium® and higher in 2.5 mg/L of Biocarb®. In the brain, the TBARS levels were higher in all concentrations of the tested herbicides with the exception of 5.0 mg/L of Roundup Original®. The gills TBARS levels were increased in the 2.5 mg/L concentration of Orium® and 5.0 mg/L of Roundup Original®. However in 5.0 mg/L of Orium®, they were decreased. The SOD activity in the liver increased in both concentrations of Orium®, 2.5 mg/L of Roundup Original® and 5.0 mg/L of Biocarb®. CAT activity decreased in all concentrations of the herbicides tested. The GST activity in the liver and gills decreased in 2.5 mg/L of Biocarb®. Yet, in the brain, the GST activity increased in both concentrations of Orium®. In the plasma, the glucose levels increased in both concentrations of Orium® and Biocarb®. The plasma lactate levels increased in 2.5 mg/L of all tested herbicides. Plasma ALT was decreased in 2.5 mg/L of Biocarb®. However, the AST increased in all concentrations of the herbicides tested with the exception of 2.5 mg/L of Biocarb®, which showed decreased levels. In the liver, the glycogen increased and the glucose and hepatic lactate decreased in all concentrations of the tested herbicides. The protein levels in the liver increased in both concentrations of Orium® and decreased in 2.5 mg/L of Biocarb®. In the muscle, the glycogen levels increased in 2.5 mg/L of Orium®, Biocarb® and 5.0 mg/L of Original®. The glucose in the muscle decreased in 5.0 mg/L of Orium® and Roundup Original®. The lactate levels in the muscle increased in 2.5 mg/L of Orium® and decreased in both concentrations of Biocarb®. The protein in the muscle increased in both concentrations of Orium® and decreased in both concentrations of Roundup Original® and Biocarb®. The glucose levels in the brain and gills increased in all concentrations of the products tested with the exception of 5.0 mg/L of Biocarb® in the gills. With these results, we can conclude that although commercial formulations have the same active principle, they act differently in the organism of the fish, causing oxidative damage by various mechanisms, affecting the tissues differently.
