Commercialized soybean and maize GMOs were fed to rats and their blood analyses were obtained. The different parameters are classified according to the tissue [2] to which they are related (e.g., liver, kidney, bone marrow). Of the total parameters measured 76.1% are related to these three organs. The percentages of significantly different parameters to the controls are called "disrupted parameters." There are in total 9% of disrupted parameters and, for instance, 43.5% of these are concentrated in kidneys in males. The bold values are significantly over the parameters measured per organ.
