HISTOPATHOLOGY / ORGAN WEIGHTS
The tissues indicated in the attachment [Histopathology] were prepared for microscopic examination. - Postmortem examinations (offspring):
- SACRIFICE
- The F1 offspring were sacrificed at 5 days of age.
- These animals were subjected to postmortem examinations (macroscopic and/or microscopic examination)
GROSS NECROPSY

HISTOPATHOLOGY / ORGAN WEIGTHS
The tissues indicated in the attachment [Histopathology] were prepared for microscopic examination. - Statistics:
- Data for males and females prior to pairing, and functional performance test data, where appropriate, quantitative data were analysed by the ProvantisTM Tables and Statistics Module. For each variable, the most suitable transformation of the data was found, the use of possible covariates checked and the homogeneity of means assessed using ANOVA and ANCOVA and Bartletts's test. The transformed data were analysed to find the lowest treatment level that showed a significant effect, using the Williams Test for parametric data or the Shirley Test for non-parametric data. If no dose response was found, but the data showed non-homogeneity of means, the data were analysed by a stepwise Dunnett (parametric) or Steel (non-parametric) test to determine significant differences from the control group. Finally, if required, pair-wise tests were performed using the Student t-test (parametric) or the Mann-Whitney U test (non-parametric). Data for females during gestation and lactation, and offspring data were assessed for dose response relationships by linear regression analysis, followed by one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) incorporating Levene's test for homogeneity of variance. Where variances were shown to be homogenous, pairwise comparisons were conducted using Dunnett's test. Where Levenels test showed unequal variances the data were analysed using non-parametric methods: Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA and Mann-Whitney 'U' test. Non-parametric methods were used to analyse implantation loss, offspring sex ratio and landmark developmental markers. Probability values (P) were calculated as follows:
P<0.001 ***
P<0.01 **
P<0.05 *
P≥0.05 (not significant) - Reproductive indices:
- Mating Index (%) = (Number of animals mated/Number of animals paired)x100
Pregnancy Index (%) = (Number of pregnant females/Number of animals mated)x100
Parturition Index (%) = (Number of females delivering live offspring/Number of pregnant females)x100 - Offspring viability indices:

Details on results (P0)
Episodes of increased salivation were evident in animals of either sex treated with 45 rnglkglday from Day 1 (males) and Day 7 (females) onwards. An isolated incident of noisy respiration was also evident in one male treated with 45 mg/kg/day on Day 4. At 15 mg/kg/day, increased salivation was evident in one male on Days 16 and 37 and in one female on Day 17. Isolated observations of this nature are commonly observed following oral administration of an unpalatable test item formulation and in the absence of any associated changes at this dose level is not considered to be attributable to systemic toxicity. The female treated with 15 mg/kg/day that was killed in extremis had a swollen anogenital region between Days 18 and 20. This observation was due to a physical injury occurring whilst the female was paired with its respective male partner and was considered not to be related to test item toxicity.
BODY WEIGHT AND FOOD CONSUMPTION (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Although statistical analysis did not reveal any significant intergroup differences, females treated with 45 mg/kg/day showed an initial insult to the test item with reductions in body weight gain, and four females showed actual body weight losses during the first week of treatment. Recovery was evident thereafter. No adverse effect on food consumption or food efficiency was detected for males during the treatment period or for females during the pre-mating, gestation or lactation phases of the study.

REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
There were no treatment-related effects on mating performance or fertility for treated animals when compared to controls.
ORGAN WEIGHTS (PARENTAL ANIMALS)

GROSS PATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
One male treated with 45 mg/kg/day had a raised limiting ridge in the stomach. The female treated with 5 mg/kg/day that was non pregnant had a fluid filled uterus. The female treated with 15 mg/kg/day that was killed in extremis had a swollen vagina and a fluid filled uterus
HISTOPATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Erosion or ulceration of the forestomach and hyperplasia/hyperkeratosis in the forestomach was evident in two males and two females treated with 45 mg/kg/day.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- No treatment related effects were detected in the reproductive parameters examined therefore the 'No Observed Effect Level' (NOEL) for reproductiveldevelopmental toxicity was considered to be 45 mg/kg/day.
- Executive summary:
The study was designed to investigate the systemic toxicity and potential adverse effects of the test item on reproduction (including offspring development) and was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 422 "Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test" (adopted 22 March 1996) and US EPA Health Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS 870.3650, July 2000. This study was also designed to be compatible with the Commission Regulation (EC) No 44012008 of 30 May 2008 laying down test methods pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 190712006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).
The test item was administered by gavage to three groups, each of ten male and ten female Wistar HanTM:RccHanTM:WISsTt rain rats, for up to eight weeks (including a two week maturation phase, pairing, gestation and early lactation for females), at dose levels of 5, 15 and 45 mg/kg/day. A control group of ten males and ten females was dosed with vehicle alone (Corn oil). Clinical signs, behavioural assessments, body weight change and food and water consumption were monitored during the study. Extensive functional observations were performed on five selected males from each dose group after the completion of the mating phase, and for five selected parental females from each dose group on Day 4 postpartum. Haematology and blood chemistry were evaluated prior to termination on five selected males and females from each dose group. Males were terminated on Day 43, followed by the termination of all surviving females and offspring on Day 5post parturn. All animals were subjected to a gross necropsy examination and histopathological evaluation of selected tissues was performed.
There were no unscheduled deaths that were related to treatment. Episodes of increased salivation were evident in animals of either sex treated with 45 mg/kg/day throughout the treatment period. An isolated incident of noisy respiration was also evident in one male treated with 45 mg/kg/day on Day 4. No toxicologically significant effects were detected in animals of either sex treated with 15 or 5 mg/kg/day. There were no treatment-related changes in the behavioural parameters measured, no toxicologically significant changes in functional performance and no treatment-related changes in sensory reactivity. Females treated with 45 mg/kg/day showed a reduction in body weight gain during the premating period, with four females showing actual body weight losses during the first week of treatment whereas this was the case for two animals of the control group. However, this difference was not statistically significant, nor was there any difference in body weight visible during the remainder of the study. No body weight effects were detected in males treated with 45 mg/kg/day or animals of either sex treated with 15 or 5 mg/kg/day. No adverse effect on food or water consumption or food efficiency was detected.
There were no treatment-related effects on mating or conception rates for treated animals. There were no differences in gestation lengths. The distribution for treated females was comparable to controls. Of the litters born, litter size at birth and subsequently on Days 1 and 4 postpartum were comparable to controls. Offspring bodyweight gain and litter weights at birth and subsequently on Days 1 and 4 postpartum were comparable to controls. The 'No Observed Adverse Effect Level' (NOAEL) for systemic toxicity was therefore considered to be 15 mg/kg/day. No treatment related effects were detected in the reproductive parameters examined therefore the 'No Observed Effect Level' (NOEL) for reproductive/developmental toxicity was considered to be 45 mg/kg/day.
