Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the safety of herbicide-resistant rice, a genetically modified organism (GMO) developed by the Rural Development Administration, in Sprague-Dawley rats. The nutrient content of herbicide-resistant polished and brown cooked rice was compared with that of conventional Ilpum polished and brown cooked rice to assess composition equivalence. Compositional analysis was performed to measure proximates, fiber, and minerals before animal feeding. Growing male rats were fed one of the following four diets for six weeks: Ilpum polished cooked rice (IP) and Ilpum brown cooked rice (IB) as a non-GMO and herbicide-resistant polished cooked rice (GP) and brown cooked rice (GB) as a GMO. We checked clinical symptoms (anorexia, salivation, diarrhea, polyuria, anuria, fecal change) every day, food intake, change of body weight twice a week, and serum biochemistry and organ weights after 6 weeks of experimental feeding among the four groups. Nutrient content of the herbicide-resistant rice was similar to that of the non-transgenic control and was within the published range observed for non-transgenic rice. We could not find any significant difference in the above-mentioned items as the index to be checked in the animals fed the GMO. These results suggest that the nutrient content of genetically modified herbicide-resistant rice is compositionally equivalent to that of conventional Ilpum rice and that growing male rats fed herbicide-resistant rice are no different from those fed Ilpum rice, non-GMO for 6 weeks.

농업생명공학 산업의 발달과 더불어 유전자변형 농산물(GMO)이 개발 및 유통됨에 따라 농약, 노동력의 절감 및 식량난 해결에 도움을 줄 수 있는 반면, 독성, 알러지 유발, 항생제 내성 등 식품으로 섭취될 때 인체에 미치는 영향에 대한 문제가 국제적으로 논의되고 있다. 우리나라 농촌진흥청에서도 여러 유전자 변형 농산물이 개발되고 있으나 일반화에 앞서 그 안전성이 검토되어야 할 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 본 연구팀은 쌀이 우리의 주식인 점을 고려하여 우선 안전성이 검토되어야 할 시험재료로 선정하였고, 영양성분 측면에서의 실질적 동등성과 취약 계층에서의 안전성 검토를 위해 영양성분 분석 후 유전자 변형 쌀을 성장기 흰쥐에게 6주간 급여하였다. 특히 항생제 저항성 유전자마커가 현미에 있을 수 있다는 보고를 고려하여 유전자 변형 품종의 백미밥과 현미밥을 모종인 일품의 백미밥 및 현미밥으로 나누어 처리한 후 실험식이를 급여하였다. 그 결과 시험재료의 영양성분 함량에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았고, 실험식이를 급여하였을 때 모든 실험동물에서 임상적 증상, 조직의 외형이나 무게 및 혈중 영양성분 함량 등의 측면에 차이가 없었다. 그러므로 본 실험에 사용된 유전자 변형 품종(제초제 저항성)은 도정 정도에 상관없이 백미와 현미 모두 6주간 급여시 성장기 실험동물에 어떠한 부정적 영향도 미치지 않은 것으로 보인다. 그러나 유전자 변형 식품의 안전성에 대해 좀 더 보완된 in vivo 실험법의 확립과 1년 이상 장기간의 급여에 따른 영향 검토도 필요하고, 본 연구의 시험재료는 단지 제초제 저항성 품종의 백미와 현미에 대한 것으로 유전자 변형 목적 및 대상 식품의 다양성에 따른 안전성은 다시 검증되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
