Both males and females continued to be administered until the day before necropsy, during which the general condition of the parent animal, weight gain and changes in food intake were observed, and at the same time the reproductive ability, including delivery and lactation of the parent animal, and weaning of the infant was observed.

- Executive summary:
In the present study, one generation reproductive toxicity test of test chemical was carried out and the toxicity of reproductive to male and female animals of test chemical was examined. In the study, animals were orally administered from 10 weeks of age including mated up to 3 weeks. The males were necropsied after one week passed after the mating period. Females were allowed to spontaneously deliver after mating and necropsied with their babies on nursing 21th. Both males and females continued to be administered until the day before necropsy, during which the general condition of the parent animal, weight gain and changes in food intake were observed, and at the same time the reproductive ability, including delivery and lactation of the parent animal, and weaning of the infant was observed. The results of the parenteral examination revealed that, no mortality in treated animals at 10, 40 and 160mg/kg/day for 10 weeks,including mating period, the clinical signs examination of animlas shows, nasal discharge, eyelid ptosis or closed eyes, in group administered with 40 mg / kg or more but not in 160mg/kg group , lacrimation in 160 mg / kg administration group was transiently observed. Salivation was observed in each administration group of the test substance.No test chemical related chnages on food consumption and body weight changes were observed. Spontaneous locomotor reduction and salivation were observed transiently after administration and no abnormality was observed in both treated males and femlaes. There was a decrease in locomotor activity, eyelid ptosis or closed eyes, and nasal discharge in group administered with 40 mg / kg or more, lacrimation in 160 mg / kg administration group. There was no change depending on the dose of the test substance in reproductive organsof male and females. The histopathological study relealed no abnormality in pituitary gland. In males, in each case in the 40 mg / kg and 160 mg / kg administration groups, the spermatogonia of the spermatogenic cells in the 14 th stage of the spermatogenesis cycle mild degeneration was observed, and cell debris was observed in the lumen of the epididymis in the example of 40 mg / kg administration group. Unilateral seminal vesicle atrophy was observed in each group including the control group. No abnormality were seen on seminal vesicle and Coagulated glands In females, no abnormality was observed in the pituitary gland, stomach, ovary, uterus, cervix and vagina. The fetal examination results revealed, deaths in 4 offspings of control group and 2 offsping of 10 mg / kg administration group, respectively. In addition, 3 out of 6 cases in the 40 mg / kg administration group and 22 cases out of 27 cases in the 160 mg / kg administration group were judged as stillbirth, but no clinical signs of toxicity on survived pups. There was no significant difference in body weight in male and female between the control group and each test group administered group at any time. No gross pathological changes were observed, At necropsy of born pups, morphological changes including malformations and mutations were observed in born pups 1-2 in each group including the control group. From the observation and results, the NOAEL for P0 generation and F1 generation was considered to be 160mg/kg/day and 40mg/kg/day respectively.
