Evaluation of the Effect of the Pesticides Glyphosate and Chlorpyrifos on the Activity of liver enzymes in serum of Group of Farmers in Samarra

The study aims to evaluate the effect of exposure to the pesticides glyphosate and chlorpyrifos on the health of farmers, whose ages are between (20 and 45) years, in rural areas. The experiment was conducted during the period from the beginning of March 2023 until the end of June. The sample was divided into three groups: the glyphosate pesticide group (15), the chlorpyrifos pesticide group (15), and the control group (15). Information was collected from farmers about the use of agricultural pesticides and their health conditions. After that, blood samples were collected from them and used to evaluate physiological and biochemical variables such as Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), and Gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT). The findings showed a significant increase in the activity of ALT, AST, ALP, and GGT enzymes in the two groups of chlorpyrifos and glyphosate pesticides compared with the healthy control group.
