Abstract:
The effect of a diet containing genetically modified (GM) soybeans on the reproductive functions of animals has not been sufficiently studied. The data available in the literature are contradictory. Thus, Brake and Evenson [1] did not reveal any negative impact of the most common GM soybean resistant to the herbicide Roundup as a result of the introduction of the EPSPS CP4 transgene (RR, line 40.3.2) on spermatogenesis in the offspring of male mice. At the same time, most studies indicated pathological changes in the testes and impaired reproductive functions in mice and rats when adding the same line of GM soybeans to the feed [2-6]. In our experiments, we previously revealed a negative impact of feeding laboratory rats this line of GM soybeans on their fertility. When feeding female rats GM soy, a decrease in the number of pups in the first generation and the absence of the second generation were found [3]. When feeding GM soybeans not only to females but also to males, no offspring were obtained already in the first generation [6]…
