GMO Research
Abstract: The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of chronic treatment with two sublethal doses of Carbofuran (carbamate insecticide) and Glyphosate (organophosphorus herbicide) on body weight and semen characteristics in mature male New Zealand white rabbits. Pesticide treatment resulted in a decline in body weight, libido, ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, semen initial fructose …
Abstract: As a result of studies on the effect of antibiotics on quality of producing boars’ semen, the perfect dose of sanitizing agents cefotaxime, cefepime and ampicillin was determined as part of semen diluent which contributes to obtaining better results in terms of mobility, morphological and acrosome integrity of genital gametes compared to similar spectrum …
Abstract: It is a cross-sectional study to evaluate semen quality of plantation workers that due their daily obligation make them susceptible to herbicide exposures. The research participants were male workers of oil palm plantations in the District of Lampung Tengah, Lampung Province, Indonesia. They were those who meet the criteria of having more than one …
Abstract: The authors recognize that the discussion about genetically modified organisms (GMOs), presented by Brazilian scientific literature as well as the media is, in general, highly biased towards approval of these products. Very few articles go deeper into questioning the effects of a possible introduction of these genetically modified organisms in Brazil, be it from …
Abstract: The association of occupational exposure to current-use pesticides with reproductive hormones, semen quality, and genital measures was investigated among young men in the South of Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 99 rural and 36 urban men aged 18–23 years. Information on pesticide use was obtained through questionnaire. Serum and semen samples were …
Abstract: Soya takes one of leading place in the balance of protein fodder cultures and in its grain there is a high contains of protein. Its amino acids composition is the most approximate to feed-staffs of animal origin. Considerable percent of sowing areas are allocated under high-yielding and technological genetic-modified lines of soya which is …
Abstract: It has been researched the microbiocenosis of caudal area of rectum of pigs which were had the diet with genetic modified soya. It was determined the specific composition of microorganisms, which were developed on nutritious mediums after the insemination them by samples of excrements: mainly Proteus vulgaris, E.Coli, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Enterococcus and also Saphylococcus …
Abstract: Біотехнологічні методи сьогодення дозволяють проводити маніпуляції на рівні окремих генів або навіть їх блоків. Ці новітні технологічні прийоми на перший погляд не призводять до швидких, яскраво виражених негативних наслідків для здоров’я людини й природи, але головна потенційна їх небезпека може поляга- ти у віддалених наслідках. Більше того, уже зараз у світовій науці є достат- …
Abstract: It is describe the analysis of the biochemical composition of blood serum and sperm plasma of boars consumed GM soy in the article. It has been found out the reduction of the concentration of total protein, triglycerides and AST activity, whereas the concentration of calcium and phosphorus increased by 39.6 % and 54.25 % …
Abstract: Currently, the most widely use genetic engineering found in creating new varieties of crops those have missing features in the existing traditional plants. Resistant to herbicides soybeans has become the most common in agricultural production, more than 60% of soybeans are modified and resistant to pests; certain modified varieties of cotton and corn 28% …
