A brief report on some health aspects of rats fed with crescent levels of recombinant chagasin, a potential plant defense protein

Chagasin may be considered a potential plant-incorporated protectant (PIP) protein due to its deleterious effects on insect pests. However, extensive safety studies with PIP's are necessary before introducing them into the target plant. Thus, a short-term feeding trial in rats with high doses o...
