Analysis of caecal microbiota in rats fed with genetically modified rice
Home of Kyle J. Norton for The Better of Living & Living Health Health risk assessment of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) cultivated for food or feed is under debate throughout the world, and very little data have been published on mid- or long-term toxicological studies with mammals.
The Con’s of GMOs include consumer and health groups, grain importers from European Union (EU) countries, organic farmers, environmentalists, concerned scientists, ethicist, religious rights groups, food advocacy groups, some politicians and trade protectionists
The Pro’s of GMOs include private industries, research scientists, some consumers, U.S. farmers and regulatory agencies.
Here are some of their studies, please make sure you understand the intention of their differentiation.
Analysis of caecal microbiota in rats fed with genetically modified rice
In the study to analyze whether the effect of genetically modified rice (GMR) on bacterial communities in caecal content in a 90-d feeding rat model with a total of 12 groups of rats, which included male and female, were fed with the basal diets containing 30%, 50%, 70% GMR (B(1), B(2), B(3)) or 30%, 50%, 70% non-GMR (D(1), D(2), D(3)), showed that according to real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR), the genome copies of Lactobacillus group from the cecum of male rats fed with 70% non-GMR was higher than those fed with 70% GMR and the relative abundance of Lactobacillus group also higher for group D. This result was in contrast with the E. coli subgroup, which was more numerous in proportion of group B, except D(2) and B(2) for male rats. The Clostridium perfringens subgroup was numerically more abundant in group D than group B of the same level, also except D(2) and B(2) for male rats. These results suggested that GMR had a complex effect on caecal microflora that may be related to the health of the host(22).
