Effects of subchronic exposure to transgenic papayas (Carica papaya L.) on liver and kidney enzymes and lipid parameters in rats
2008-12-01
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Declines due to Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) are the primary constraint limiting production of papaya (Carica papaya L.) in tropical and subtropical regions. Given the lack of suitable sources of resistance in the genus, transgenic papayas carrying the coat protein gene of a local strain of PRSV were recently developed to manage the disease in Jamaica. For assurance of food safety, a 90 day subchronic...
