EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF THE HEPATOPROTECTIVE AND PANCREATIC MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES INDUCED BY PROLONGED CONSUMPTION OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED SOYBEAN PROTEIN ISOLATE IN WISTAR RATS

The global adoption of genetically modified (GM) crops has expanded considerably over the past three decades, with GM soybeans (Glycine max) constituting one of the most widely cultivated transgenic food sources worldwide. While GM crops are engineered to confer agronomic advantages such as herbicide tolerance and insect resistance, questions regarding their long-term biological safety in mammalian organisms remain a subject of ongoing scientific inquiry and public health debate.
