Note: Data are presented as the mean±SD. During the quarantine period and the study period, there were 8, 4, 8 and 12 animals in the non-GM rice, positive control, 17.5% GM rice and 70% GM rice groups, respectively, whereas there were 2, 0, 4 and 4 animals in the four respective group during the recovery period.
*: Significantly different from the non-GM rice group at p<0.05.
**: Significantly different from the non-GM rice group at p<0.01.
