Transcriptomic Analysis of Intestinal Tissues from Two 90-Day Feeding Studies in Rats Using Genetically Modified MON810 Maize Varieties
Background: Global as well as specific expression profiles of selected rat tissues were characterized to assess the safety of genetically modified (GM) maize MON810 containing the insecticidal protein Cry1Ab. Gene expression was evaluated by use of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) as well as RT-qPCR within rat intestinal tissues based on mandatory 90-day rodent feeding studies. In parallel to t...
متن کاملA 90-Day Feeding Study in Rats to Assess the Safety of Genetically Engineered Pork
Our laboratory recently produced genetically engineered (GE) Meishan pigs containing a ZFN-edited myostatin loss-of-function mutant. These GE pigs develop and grow as normal as wild type pigs but produce pork with greater lean yield and lower fat mass. To assess any potential subchronic toxicity risks of this GE pork, a 90-day feeding study was conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were random...
متن کاملDetection of Genetically Modified Maize in Imported Animal Feed
Due to population growth in the coming years, adequate food supply is the world's biggest problem, and it seems that one way to meet this need is to produce transgenic products. Transgenic products are created using modern technology to create or enhance a desirable property, such as increasing resistance to weeds or improving nutritional properties. The advantages of transgenic products includ...
متن کاملDetection of Genetically Modified Maize in Imported Animal Feed
Genetically modified crops are produced using modern biotechnology to create or increase desirable traits such as increased efficiency or resistance to unfavorable factors. In recent years, Almost 200 million hectares of world crop acreage planted with GM crops including maize, so it is possible that GM maize has been imported to Iran especially as animal feed. Therefore, 25 samples of imported...
متن کاملEffect of feeding genetically modified Bt MON810 maize to ∼40-day-old pigs for 110 days on growth and health indicators.
A total of 72 male weaned pigs were used in a 110-day study to investigate the effect of feeding genetically modified (GM) Bt MON810 maize on selected growth and health indicators. It was hypothesised that in pigs fed Bt maize, growth and health are not impacted compared with pigs fed isogenic maize-based diets. Following a 12-day basal period, pigs (10.7 ± 1.9 kg body weight (BW); ∼40 days old...
