glyphosate and Asthma

glyphosate has been researched along with Asthma in 3 studies

glyphosate: active cpd in herbicidal formulation Roundup; inhibits EC 2.5.1.19, 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase; structure
glyphosate : A phosphonic acid resulting from the formal oxidative coupling of the methyl group of methylphosphonic acid with the amino group of glycine. It is one of the most commonly used herbicides worldwide, and the only one to target the enzyme 5-enolpyruvyl-3-shikimate phosphate synthase (EPSPS).

Asthma: A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (RESPIRATORY HYPERSENSITIVITY), airway INFLAMMATION, and intermittent AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION. It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, WHEEZING, and dyspnea (DYSPNEA, PAROXYSMAL).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The provocative dose causing a 20% fall in the forced expiratory volume in one second (PD20) was significantly lower in ice hockey players than in floor ball players, but there was no significant difference in the dose-response slopes between the two groups."1.30High prevalence of bronchial hyperresponsiveness and asthma in ice hockey players. ( Comminot, C; Kuhn, M; Leuppi, JD; Reinhart, WH, 1998)
