Results
Several convergent data appear to indicate liver and kidney problems as end points
of GMO diet effects in the above-mentioned experiments. This was confirmed by our
meta-analysis of all the in vivo studies published, which revealed that the kidneys were particularly affected, concentrating
43.5% of all disrupted parameters in males, whereas the liver was more specifically
disrupted in females (30.8% of all disrupted parameters).
Conclusions
The 90-day-long tests are insufficient to evaluate chronic toxicity, and the signs
highlighted in the kidneys and livers could be the onset of chronic diseases. However,
no minimal length for the tests is yet obligatory for any of the GMOs cultivated on
a large scale, and this is socially unacceptable in terms of consumer health protection.
We are suggesting that the studies should be improved and prolonged, as well as being
made compulsory, and that the sexual hormones should be assessed too, and moreover,
reproductive and multigenerational studies ought to be conducted too.
