Abstract:

The widespread use of products containing GMOs (GM products) in human and animal nutrition determines the relevance of studies aimed at studying the safety of their use. One of the most objective methods for assessing the safety of GM products is the study of the reactivity of the body. Individual reactivity depends on the hereditary, intrauterine and environmental circumstances of the individual. The adaptation process when various factors act on the body occurs at different speeds and successes depending on the non-specific individual reactivity of the body. The presence of close interaction between the thymus (T) and the adrenal glands (AG) in the adaptation process allows using data on changes in the morphofunctional state of these organs to assess the effect of a GM food product on the body.
