Details on results (P0)
No mortality was observed.
One male in 100 mg/kg bw/day group lost hair of loin between day 8 and 47. One female of 100 mg/kg bw/day lost hair between 8 and 17 days of administration and between 0 and 19 days of festation. Another female (not pregnant) of 100 mg/kg bw/day group lost also hair from 21 to 37 days of administration.
BODY WEIGHT AND FOOD CONSUMPTION (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Decrease in body weight was observed in both sexes of 100 mg/kg bw/day group until 8 days of administration. Thereafter, animals started to gain but the suppression of body weight gain was noted for a whole administration period.
REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION: ESTROUS CYCLE (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Decreases in estrus count and prolonged estrous cycle were found in 100 mg/kg bw /daygroup.
REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
One couple was not mated and two dams were not pregnant in 100 mg/kg bw/day. However, no significant differences were found as for copulation index and fertility index. Decreased duration of mating observed in 4 mg/kg bw/daywas not considered as compound-related effect, since no changes were found in the higher dosing groups.
Increased gestation days and decrease (or trend of decrease) in number of corpora lutea, number of implantations, gestation index, number of litter, number of live new borns and birth index were observed in females of the 100 mg/kg bw/daygroup. No effects related to the test article were observed for the implant index.
All embryo absorption was observed in three dams of the 100 mg/kg bw/daygroup and number of corpora lutea was not examined. Test item could induce the early embryonic lethal.
ORGAN WEIGHTS (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Relative and the absolute weight of the adrenals increased in males of 20 mg/kg bw/day and more groups. Relative and the absolute weight of thymus decreased in males of 100 mg/kg bw/day group. In 100 mg/kg bw/day group, the absolute weight of heart, thyroids, kidneys, epididymides decreased, and the relative weight of brain, lungs, liver, spleen and testes increased.
In females of 100 mg/kg bw/day group, the absolute weight of heart, thymus and ovaries decreased, and the relative weight of brain, lung, liver, spleen and kidneys increased. In addition, the absolute weight of heart decreased in females of 20 mg/kg bw/day group.
Changes in brain, lungs, heart and thyroids were observed only in absolute weight and there was not correspondent histopathological findings. Therefore, this change didn't have a toxicological meaning.
GROSS PATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
One male in control group and three males of 100 mg/kg group showed black red spot in glandular stomach. One male of 100 mg/kg bw showed rough surface of kidney. Four males of 100 mg/kg bw showed enlargement of testis. In addition, one male of both control and 100 mg/kg bw group showed diaphragm hernia of liver, one male of 100 mg/kg bw group showed light gray macule of lung, one male of control group showed a white spot in testis, one male of 100 mg/kg bw group showed light gray nodule of testis, one male of control and 20 mg/kg bw group showed light gray nodule of epididymis.
One female of 100 mg/kg group showed atrophy of thymus at the terminal sacrifice. One female which was imminently sacrificed due to death of all newborns showed black red spot in mucosa of glandular stomach and light gray coloration of kidney. Three animals of 100 mg/kg bw group which were non-delivery showed no abnormalities. No abnormalities were also found in two non-pregnant females of 100 mg/kg bw group.
HISTOPATHOLOGY (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Two males and females of 100 mg/kg bw/day group showed centrilobular hypertrophy. One female of 100 mg/kg bw/day showed vacular degeneraion of hepatocyte. Nine males and six females showed basophilic material in bile duct. Two animals of both sexes in 100 mg/kg bw/day showed deposits of hemosiderin in the Kupffer cells in the liver. In glandular stomach, one male of control group and three males of 100 mg/kg bw/day showed erosion. This effect suggested that test item could cause toxicological effect on glandular stomach. One female of 100 mg/kg bw/day showed ulcer in glandular stomach. In the kidney, necrosis of the tubules in one female of 100 mg/kg bw/day group, basophilic tubules dilatation of tubules in two males of control and 20 mg/kg bw/day and all animals in both sexes of 100 mg/kg bw/day, infiltration of lymphocytes in nine males and eight females of 100 mg/kg bw/day, infiltration of neutrophil in one female of 100 mg/kg bw/day, dilatation tubule in one male and female of 100 mg/kg bw/day were noted. In the spleen, extramedullary hematopoiesis in three males and nine females and deposits of hemosiderin in the red pulp in all animals of both sexes of 100 mg/kg bw were noted. In the femur, decreased hematopoiesis was noted in eleven males of the 100 mg/kg bw group. In the thymus, atrophy was noted in one male and for females of 100 mg/kg bw/day group. In adrenal, necrosis of cortex was noted in one female of 100 mg/kg bw/day. The change in adrenal was not considered as a compound-related effect but it was caused by the stress of pregnant and delivery. In addition, no changes like this were found in other females and males. In the testis, dilatation of seminiferous tubule in four males, vacuolization of the Sertoli cells in two males, degeneration of germ cells in one male, multinucleated giant cells in one male were note in 100 mg/kg bw/day group. In the epididymis, infiltration of lymphocytes in two males, germ cell debris in the lumen in one male, edema in one male were noted in 100 mg/kg bw/day group. These effects on testis and epididymis were may be caused by the circulation disorder since these changes are similar to the effects caused by administration of cadmium chloride. However, fertility was not affected by the test item in males.
In addition, necrosis of hepatocyte, accumulation of foam cell, mineralization of artery, hemorrhage of lungs and thymus, myocardial degeneration, atrophy of seminiferous tubule, granuloma of spermatic of testis and epididymis were regarded as not relevant toxicological effect but changes caused naturally.
OTHER FINDINGS (PARENTAL ANIMALS)
Bone marrow examination showed decreases in nucleated cell counts and the M/E ratio, and decrease in cell counts of neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, basophilic erythroblasts, and polychromatophilic and orthochromatophilic erythroblasts in males of the 100 mg/kg bw/day group. Test item could inhibit hematopoiesis.
