Text: Влияние диеты, содержащей генетически модифицированную (ГМ) сою, на репродуктивные функции животных изучено недостаточно. Имеющиеся в литературе данные противоречивы. Так, Brake и Evenson [1] не обнаружили негативного воздействия наиболее распространенной ГМ-сои с трансгеном EPSPS CP4 (RR, линия 40.3.2) на сперматогенез у потомства самцов мышей. В то же время другими исследователями были выявлены патологические изменения в семенниках …
Text: Widespread distribution of genetically modified organisms (GMO) causes great biological risks for human and the Environment. Three kind of biological risks are described usually: ecological, nutrition and agrotechnical. The term genetically modified organisms (GMOs) refers to plants, microbes and animals with genes transferred from other species in order to produce certain novel characteristics (for …
Abstract: Numerous neurological disorders including fragile X syndrome, Down syndrome, autism, and Alzheimer’s disease are co-morbid with epilepsy. We have observed elevated seizure propensity in mouse models of these disorders dependent on diet. Specifically, soy-based diets exacerbate audiogenic-induced seizures in juvenile mice. We have also found potential associations between the consumption of soy-based infant formula …

Abstract: Accumulation of information about natural hybridization between GM soybean (Glycine max) and wild soybean (Glycine soja) is required for risk assessment evaluation and to establish biosafety regulations in Japan. This is particularly important in areas where wild relatives of cultivated soybean are grown (i.e. East Asia including Japan). To collect information on temporal and …
Abstract: Glyphosate is an herbicide widely used in the world, being applied in several crops, among them soybeans. Recently, glyphosate and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) have been identified as possible contributors to the emergence of various diseases such as autism, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, as well as cancer. The child population-consuming cereal-based foods is …
Abstract: Lactose intolerance is characterized by low or inexistent levels of lactase, and the main treatment consists of dietary changes, especially replacing dairy milk by soy milk. Soy contains phytoestrogens, substances with known estrogenic activity, besides, glyphosate-based herbicides are extensively used in soy crops, being frequently a residue in soy beans, bringing to a concern …
Abstract: The most cultivated genetically modified plant in Brazil is the soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] resistant to the systemic herbicide glyphosate. There are 12.3 millions of cultivated hectares. This soybean was obtained through the introduction of the gene that codes for the 5-enolpyruyilshikimic-acid3-phosphate synthase enzyme, (EPSPS, E.C 2.5.1.19, CP4), of the shikimic pathway, resistant …
Abstract: Research purpose. Identify the presence of unidentified factor transgenic soybean in posterity of rats at her long-term feeding. Object and research methods. Research conducted on white rats which were kept in the vivarium Vinnitsa National Medical University named M.I. Pirogov. Two groups of rats by 10 goals each fed a standard diet vivarium and …
Abstract: Research purpose: Detecting the presence of unidentified factor transgenic roundup resistant soybeans by method biological tests. Object and research methods: Ciliates – Tetrahymena pyriformis, after boiling water extract of soybeans and whole plant GM soybeans and non GM soy, aqueous extract of yolks and egg whites of chickens were fed GM soy (experiment) and …
Abstract: Most traits introduced into genetically engineered crops result from the expression of new proteins. As the first step toward assessing the allergenic potential of genetically modified organism (GMO) food, immunologic and physicochemical characterizations are needed. We prepared crude extract from GMO soybeans, wild soybeans, curd, and soy milk and then performed sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide …
Abstract: This paper examines Argentina’s agro-export strategy for socioeconomic development based on the adoption and expansion of genetically modified (GM) soy. The modelo sojero a model based on large scale mechanized production of GM soy, is widely praised at home and abroad and used as an example of “success” for other poor countries on the brink of adopting …
Abstract: Effect of water extract of round-up resistant GM of soya bean in comparison to the same extract of GM of soya bean on similarity, beginning of shoots and germination of grain of wheat, triticale and rye is studied. It is fixed that the extract from GM of soya bean in comparison to non-GM one …
Introduction. Advances in biotechnology have resulted in an increasing number of genetically engineered foods, and, among these, soybean is one of the most widespread. Foods produced through agricultural biotechnology should be assessed for their potential health risks, in particular allergenicity. Thymus provides organism response to foreign substance. There are no enough research dates demonstrating histological …
Abstract: The article presents the dynamics of changes in female fertility of I, II and III generations of rats and morph functional state of rats uterus of I generation, which were fed with feed containing 20% traditional and genetically modified soy. Received three generations of rats that consumed feed containing 20% of GM and traditional …
Abstract: The inclusion of genetically modified (GM) foods in the human diet has caused considerable debate. There is concern that the transfer of plant-derived transgenes to the resident intestinal microflora could have safety implications. For these gene transfer events to occur, the nucleic acid would need to survive passage through the gastrointestinal tract. The aim …
Abstract: Transgenic glyphosate tolerant soybeans are constituents of an industrial production system with specific agricultural practices and supplementary agrochemicals as interwoven additional elements. Thus the material produced should not be seen as an isolated product of a specific modified genotype but rather as a product of a tailored agriculture system. This globally dominant crop has …
Abstract: A field study was conducted during 2000 and 2001 at Stoneville, MS to determine the effects of isopropylamine (Ipa), trimethylsulfonium (Tms), diammonium (Dia), and aminomethanamide dihydrogen tetraoxosulfate (Adt) salt formulations of glyphosate on weed control, growth, chlorophyll content, nodulation, nitrogen content, and grain yield in glyphosate-resistant soybean, and to assess potential glyphosate accumulation in …
Abstract: Introduction. Genetically modified soy is characterized by a high protein content (38-42%), which contains all the essential aminoacids, many polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, macro and micronutrients, so it comprise of many foods: bread, biscuits, margarine, pizza, sausage, candy, milk, yogurt, baby food and others, but the final opinion on their safety there.
