Abstract: Genetically modified crops have been available for human and animal consumption since the 1990’s. Most crops have been modified to possess genes that either make them herbicide tolerant or insect resistant. Increasingly common though, are crops that possess both traits. Second to soy, corn is the most widely grown GM crop in the world1. In spite of the increased popularity of GM crops, very few studies have been done to assess the long-term effects of GM food on mammals. The aim of the present study was to investigate the long-term effects of feeding rats corn containing modifications for both insect resistance and herbicide tolerance.
