Abstract: Hormonal and histological changes in a tissue of ovaries of rats are studied at a long introduction in nutrtion GMO. Introduction in nutrition within 6 months of GMO-soya to healthy Vistar rats leads to an acceleration of aging of ovaries. Keywords: GM soy, Glyphosate tolerant soybean, GTS 40-3-2, Roundup Ready soya, Wistar rats, Rodent, …
Abstract: In this study, cell death detected by DNA fragmentation labeling and phosphatidylserine (PS) localization was investigated in the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) midgut, salivary glands and ovaries after treating larvae with different pesticides offered via an artificial diet. To do this, honey bee larvae reared in an incubator were exposed to one of …
Abstract: Hormonal and histological changes in a tissue of ovaries of rats are studied at long introduction in nutrition GMO. Introduction in nutrition within 6 months of the GMO-soya to practically healthy rats Vistar leads to an acceleration of ageing of ovaries. Keywords: GM soy, Glyphosate tolerant soybean, GTS 40-3-2, Roundup Ready soya, Wistar rats, …
Abstract: Dicamba is a benzoic acid herbicide that has been detected in surface and ground water. The herbicide has been shown to have cytogeneic and DNA damaging effects and to cause organ damage in mammals; however, little is known about the endocrine disrupting effects of dicamba in fish. In this study, histological changes, plasma vitellogenin …
Abstract: Background Many agricultural contaminants disrupt endocrine systems of wildlife. However, evidence of endocrine disruption in wild amphibians living in agricultural areas has been controversial. Typically, studies on the effects of pollutants on wildlife attempt to compare polluted with unpolluted sites. Objectives We took a novel approach to address this question by explicitly quantifying the …
Abstract: The problems of the introduction of transgenic products into the consumer market were examined. The impact of the genetically modified potatoes on the cytological and morphological parameters in mice was investigated. An increase in body mass and in hearts mass and a decrease in spleens mass, degeneration of the ovaries and changing of the …
Abstract: The article is devoted to the introduction of transgenic products into the consumer market. The impact of the genetically modified potatoes on the cytological and morphological parameters of mice was investigated. Transgenic potato plants were produced by agrobacterium-mediated transformation using genetic constructions 35S-proSmAMP with marker gene npt11 of the resistance to the kanamycin. An increase in hearts …
Abstract: The purpose of our study was to examine the content of sex and gonadotropic hormones in female rats by using genetically modified soy in the diet, to determine a significant decrease of estradiol levels while increasing the concentration of follicle stimulating hormone that indicates a decrease of the morphofunctional activity of granuloses of the …
Abstract: The present study was designed to evaluate the impact of feeding a line of genetically modified cotton seeds (Bt cotton seeds) to that of standard diet and reference diet (Non-Bt cotton seeds) on growth, metabolism in albino rats. Non-Bt and Bt cotton seeds were incorporated into the diet of the albino rats at a …
Abstract: This evaluation of Bt brinjal studies is based on requirements for a rigorous evaluation of food safety for the people of India and their health. Departures from Indian and international published standards for the 14-day and 90-day studies are a cause for concern 1. The current food safety studies for Bt brinjal were not …
Abstract: We simulated the effects of the introduction of genetically modified herbicide-tolerant (GMHT) crops on weed populations and the consequences for seed-eating birds. We predict that weed populations might be reduced to low levels or practically eradicated, depending on the exact form of management. Consequent effects on the local use of fields by birds might …
