A commercial formulation of glyphosate inhibits proliferation and differentiation to adipocytes and induces apoptosis in 3T3-L1 fibroblasts

► A commercial glyphosate formulation inhibited proliferation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts. ► Glyphosate formulation-induced apoptosis was confirmed by two different approaches. ► This formulation also inhibited 3T3-L1 fibroblasts differentiation to adipocytes. ► When formulation was removed proliferation and differentiation could be recovered. ► Precaution must be taken since glyphosate formulation may provoke cellular damage.
