[Editor’s note: Researchers studied the impact of GMO corn on rats in a 90-day feed study. For background on GMO safety and rat studies, read coverage of the widely-criticized rat study by French scientist Gilles-Éric Séralini purporting to show the negative health effects of GMOs on rats here, here and here.]
Results from body weights, feed consumption, clinical chemistry, hematology, absolute and relative organ weights indicated no treatment-related side effects of GmTMT maize grain on rats in comparison with rats consuming diets containing Zhen58 maize grain. In addition, no treatment-related changes were found in necropsy and histopathology examinations. Altogether, our data indicates that GmTMT transgenic maize is as safe and nutritious as its conventional non-transgenic maize.
