Constituent 1
Test animals
- Species:
- rat
- Strain:
- other: Charles River COBS CD rats
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- corn oil
- Details on exposure:
- Groups of 25 pregnant female rats were given the test substance at doses of 0, 500, 2000 or 5000 mg/kg bw/day orally by gavage, using a constant dose volume of 5 ml/kg bw, as a single daily dose on days 6 through to 19 of gestation.
- Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- not specified
- Details on mating procedure:
- One female and one male rat of the same strain and source were place together for matting. The occurrence of copulation was determined by the daily inspection for a copulaotry plug. Evidence of a copulatory plug was designated as day 0 for the study.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 6th - 19th day of gestation
- Frequency of treatment:
- daily
Doses / concentrations
- Remarks:
- Doses / Concentrations:
500, 2000, 5000 mg/kg/day
Basis:
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 25
- Control animals:
- yes, concurrent no treatment
Examinations
- Maternal examinations:
- Females were observed daily for mortality and signs of toxicity. Body weights were recorded on gestation days 0, 6, 9, 12, 16, and 20. On day 28 all females were sacrificed and uterus and ovaries were exposed by abdominal incision.
- Ovaries and uterine content:
- Uterine examinations were conducted on all surviving rats on day 20 of gestation.
- Fetal examinations:
- All fetuses were individually weighed and examined for external malformation and variations. Half of the fetuses were place in Bouin's solution for subsequent soft tissue examination using the Wilson razor-blade technique.
- Statistics:
- Level of significance at p <0.05. Chi-square with Yates correction and/or Fisher's exact probability as described by Siegel were used.
