Macroscopic examination: Aorta, caecum, brain including medulla/pons, cerebellar and cerebral cortex, heart, colon, duodenum, stomach, femoral bone with articulation (*),liver, mammary glands (*), submaxillary glands (*), sublingual glands (*), Harderian glands (*), pituitary, ileum, jejunum, spinal cord, cervical, thoracic and lumbar sections (*),sciatic nerve, skeletal muscle (*),lymph nodes, mandibular and mesenteric esophagus, ovaries, pancreas, skin (*), lungs with bronchia, prostate (*),spleen, rectum, kidneys, sternum with bone marrow, adrenals, testes and epididymides, thymus, thyroids and parathyroids, trachea, uterus, horns, and cervix, vagina (*), seminal vesicles (*),urinary bladder, eyes (*) with optic nerve and lacrymal glands.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes
Microscopic examinations was performed on: all macroscopic lesions and tissues listed above (except those marked by (*)) in all animals from the high dose level and control groups sacrificed at the end of the treatment and recovery periods, in all animals that died.
All macroscopic lesions and lungs, liver, kidneys for all animals from the low and intermediate dose level groups. - Statistics:
- The following sequence was used for the statistical tests of the clinical parameters (bodyweight, food consumption and water consumption) and for the haematological and biochemical parameters, and for organ weights: A normal distribution of values in the samples was checked by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (1948), In the case of an abnormal distribution, this test was performed after the logarithmic transformation of the values.
If a significant heterogeneity persists after the logarithmic transformation of the values, the analysis of variances was not performed, A comparison between the treated groups and the control group in order to prove a treatment-related difference was made by using Mann-Whitney's test (1947).
In the case of the normal distribution of values according to the normal law an analysis of variances was made by the Bartlett's test (1937) (more than 2 samples) or Fisher's test (1934) (2 samples),
A comparison between the treated and the control groups in order to prove a treatment-related difference was made by either: Dunnett's test (1955) if no significant heterogeneity of the variances was established, Mann-Whitney's test (1947) in the case of significant heterogeneity of the variance.
Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Details on results:
CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
1) Clinical signs
Hypersalivation after treatment was observed in 6/20 males and 6/20 females of the 1000 mg/kg/day group (observed daily from day 17 to day 22, except in one female, from day 31 to day 43). This clinical sign was considered treatment-related.
Additional clinical signs were noted, including:
- Area of hair loss on the head, neck or back of some animals of all groups, and swollen ear in 1 male of the control group, probably due the prehension of animals at test substance administration.
- Damaged eye in 1 male of the control group, due to a traumatism at blood sampling.
- Chromorhinorrhea (from day 7I to day 119) in 1 male of the 1000 mg/kg/day group, considered to be spontaneous without any treatment relationship,
- A palpable mass on 1 female of the 100 mg/kg/day group.
2) One male animal died in the control group on day 119, one male (after 11 days) and one female (after 36 days) died in the 100 mg/kg bw dose group. However, no clinical signs were observed preceding the death, and, at necropsy, no relevant macroscopically findings were found. The observed mortality either occurred accidentally during blood sampling or as consequence of test substance aspiration.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
The bodyweight gain in all treated females and in males of the 10 and 100 mg/kg/day groups was similar to that of the control animals. A very slight increase in the bodyweight gain was observed in males of the 1000 mg/kg/day group, when compared with the control animals. The difference in bodyweight was in mean 6% and was not statistically significant. It was still noted at the end of the recovery period.
Although this change was very slight, the relationship to the treatment cannot be ruled out.
FOOD CONSUMPTION
The food consumption in all treated females and in males of the 10 and 100 mg/kg/day groups was comparable to that of the control animals. In males of the 1000 mg/kg/day group, it was very slightly increased throughout the treatment period. This change was in mean 3% and was occasionally statistically significant. This could be associated with the very slight increase in bodyweight gain noted in the same animals.
Throughout the recovery period, the food consumption was normal and similar to that of the control animals except in Week 17 when the mean value of food consumption in controls was lower than that recorded in the same animals on the previous weeks.
FOOD EFFICIENCY
No change of toxicological significance was observed.
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION
The ophthalmological examination performed on animals of each sex from the control and high dose level groups revealed only a few minor changes often observed in the laboratory rat (cornea vacuolisation, persistence of the hyaloid vessel, diffuse opacity of the cornea and punctual opacity of the posterior cortical). Therefore, these changes were not considered to be treatment-related.
HAEMATOLOGY
No perceptible changes were found in the haematological parameters and the individual values were within the normal range of the background data for the animal species used.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
The variations observed in some biochemical parameters (sodium, potassium, chloride, inorganic phosphorus, creatine, total protein, cholesterol, triglyceride, transaminases and proteinogram) were considered to be of no toxicological significance, although they were sometimes statistically significant (they were minor, not dose-related and the individual values still within the normal range of the background data of the testing laboratory).
URINALYSIS
No treatment-related abnormalities were found.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
The statistical analysis of organ weights of the animals sacrificed at the end of the treatment period revealed the following changes:
- An increase in absolute {22%) and relative (14%) liver weight in the males at the high dose level (1000 mg/kg/day);
- An increase in relative liver weight in the females at the mid-dose (8%) and high dose (9%) levels.
The following statistical significant variations were found in the organ weights of the animals sacrificed at the end of the recovery period:
- An increase in absolute {22%) and relative (12%) liver weight in the test substance treated males;
- A decrease (11%) in relative testes weight in the test substance treated males,
No perceptible changes were found in the other organ weights.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
The macroscopic changes found at autopsy in the animals, at the end of the treatment and recovery periods, were recognized as those commonly recorded findings in the laboratory rat, therefore they were considered to be of no toxicological significance.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC
The microscopic findings encountered in all organs examined, at the end of the treatment and the recovery periods, were similar as those commonly recorded changes in the laboratory rat. Moreover, their incidence, severity and morphological characters were comparable between control and treated animals; therefore they bear no relationship to treatment. In the absence of any relevant histopathological findings in the liver and testes, the slight above mentioned variations in those organs weight were considered to be of no toxicological significance.
