Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out with the objectives of; to determine the effect of the consumption of Genetically Modified Soy on the growth of two generations of mice (Mus musculus), and to identify the effect of the consumption of Genetically Modified Soy on the production of anatomical alterations at the level of the gastrointestinal tract in two generations of mice (Mus musculus). The study is experimental with a longitudinal section. Two study groups were formed; an experimental group with consumption of a diet based on SGM and a control group with a diet based on Organic Soy (SO). In the study animals, their sexual maturation was rated for reproductive purposes. The weight and length of both groups were evaluated once a week. Upon the death of the experimental animals, they were dissected and the presence of anatomical alterations in the gastrointestinal tract was evaluated. The results of the research were: (a) in growth: there were no significant differences (Fc = 0.0142; P =0.9065), but there were weight variations between females and males that consumed SO and females that consumed SGM, with a average of 27 grams, Filial 1 (F1) presented better weight in animals that consumed SO; although without significant differences (Fc = 2.785; P = 0.1052). The length evaluation, in the animals of Filial 0 (F0) and F1, which consumed SO, presented better size. (b) Regarding the alterations at the gastrointestinal tract level, 88% of the experimental animals, and 100% of the F1, that consumed SGM, presented alterations such as: necrotizing, proliferation of the mucosa, bleeding in the stomach; necrotizing and proliferation of the mucosa in the small intestine, necrotizing and bleeding in the large intestine; necrotizing, bleeding, fatty infiltration and lobulations in the liver, with necrotizing and pancreatic enlargement.
