Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
One hundred and thirty three Sprague Dawley rats (45 male and 88 female) of
the Crl CD (SD) BR strain were supplied by Charles River France (76410 Saint-
Aubin-les-Elbeuf, France). Rats were acclimatized for a minimum of 8 days proir to being placed on
study. They were randomly assigned to treatment groups and identified by ear tatoo.

old and had a mean body weight of 204 grams. 8) Upon arrival at the lab, animals were placed in a disinfected room,
quarantined and given a clinical examination. Temperature was 21 +/- 2 degrees
centigrade, relative humidity was 50 +/- 20%, light/dark cycle was 12hr/12hr,
and ventilation was 12 cycles/hr of filtered, non-recycled air. ""There were no
deviations in temperature and relative humidity which could have influenced the
outcome of the study." Animals had free access to food and water. "There were no known
contaminants in the diet, water or saw dust bedding at levels likely to have
i nfluenced the outcome of the study."

Details on results (P0)

1. The concentration of the test material was either close to the nominal or exceeded the nominal concentration by no more than 18%.
2. The average daily intake for the 0, 10, 30, and 100 ppm group was 0, 0.72, 2.08, and 7.32 mg/kg bw, respectively.
3. No mortality occurred during the treatment phase, and no treatment related clinical signs were observed.
4. Body weight development in male rats was reduced during the first 6 weeks, and remained similar to that of the controls til the end of the treatment period. Body weights of the females showed no difference between the dose groups.
5. No significant differencies in food consumption were observed, apart from a slightly lower intake of the high dose group during the first two weeks (-8%).
6. Achieved doses decreased throughout the study as follows:
10 ppm: from 1.16 to 0.05 mg/kg bw
30 ppm: from 3.40 to 1.37 mg/kg bw
100 ppm: from 11.7 to 4.60 mg/kg bw
7. No ophthalmological findings were observed.
8. Slightly lower leucocyte and lymphocyte counts were noted in 2/10 males at 100 ppm, but no relevant blood chemistry and urinalysis findings were recorded 5n male rats.
9. No organ weight differences were recorded, but reddish coloration of mesenteric lymph nodes was observed co0bined with haemosiderosis at males exposed to 100ppm.
10. A slight reduction of spermatozoa was observed in all dose groups, but the viability of sperm was equal among the dose groups.
11. As expected, no abnormal findings were recorded in females, and no differencies in body weight or macroscopical findings were recorded at necropsy.
12. Mating index was 100 % in all groups, and no treatment related unfertility was observed.
13. All litter data from the hysterectomy group were comparable to controls, and the litter data of the delivery groups were also identical to controls. The physical development of the pups was similar to the controls.
14. No effects on pup development was observed.

Parental/F1 data: No treatment-related infertility was noted in males and no
influence on embryonic or pup development was observed.
Offspring Data: None
Statistical result: Statistical methods were discussed, but analyses of the data
were not provided.  

  1) The chemical composition of the test article was confirmed at the laboratory
prior to initiation of the in vivo studies.
2) The concentration, homogeneity and stability of the test article in the diet
were monitored and reported. This data, along with food consumption and body
weight, was used to calculate the actual doses received during the study.
3) For the Toxicology Study, results of the chemical analyses, clinical
examinations, clinical chemistry, laboratory investigations, pathology and
analysis of sperm count were reported. All measurements were within guideline
except as follows: body weight gain for animals in the 100 ppm dosage group was
about 10% lower than controls during the first 6 weeks of treatment. When
compared to the control group, lower mean leucocyte count (-20%) attributed to
lower lymphocyte count (-24%) was noted in male rats receiving 100 ppm TGIC in
the diet. Other minor (nonsignificant) variations clinical chemistry, pathology
and urinalysis were noted in the report. Additionally, the report indicates
that "" it cannot be excluded that the slightly lower number of spermatozoa
noted in all treated groups could be related to treatment.""
4) For the Fertility Study, maternal data, reproductive data in males, litter
data for females of hysterectomy subgroup and litter data for females of the
delivery subgroup were reported. Results reported for these parameters were
similar for all groups.
See report for details of these evaluations.  

  The administration of the test article Araldite PT 810 ( TGIC ), by dietary
admixture for 13 weeks to male Sprague Dawley rats was well tolerated at doses
of 10 or 30 ppm ( 0.72 or 2.08 mg/kg/day). Slightly lower (approximately 10%)
body weight gain was recorded for the 100 ppm (7.32 mg/kg/day) group. A slight,
but dose-related decrease in the mean number of spermatozoa was observed in the
TGIC treated groups. No treatment-related infertility was noted in males and no
influence on embryonic or pup development was observed after mating with
untreated females. Consequently, 30 ppm was considered as the no observed
effect level (NOEL). At 100 ppm, the lower number of spermatozoa did not impair
the fertility of the treated males and therefore this dose level was considered
to be the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL).  

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The administration of the test article Araldite PT 810 ( TGIC ), by dietary admixture for 13 weeks to male Sprague Dawley rats was well tolerated at doses of 10 or 30 ppm ( 0.72 or 2.08 mg/kg/day). Slightly lower (approximately 10%) body weight gain was recorded for the 100 ppm (7.32 mg/kg/day) group. A slight, but dose-related decrease in the mean number of spermatozoa was observed in the TGIC treated groups. No treatment-related infertility was noted in males and no influence on embryonic or pup development was observed after mating with
untreated females. Consequently, 30 ppm was considered as the no observed effect level (NOEL). At 100 ppm, the lower number of spermatozoa did not impair the fertility of the treated males and therefore this dose level was considered
to be the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL).
Administration of TGIC (PT 810) admixed to the diet for 13 weeks to male rats was well tolerated, causing a slight reduction of body weight gain as well as a slight reduction of the number of spermatozoa at 100 ppm.
The NOEL is 30 ppm (= 2.08 mg/kg bw), and the NOAEL is 100 ppm (= 7.32 mg/kg bw).
Although there was a reduction of the number of sperm with increasing dosing, there were
no effects on fertility observed in the male rats when mated to untreated female rats. The viability of the sperm was comparable in the treated groups to those of the control group. No histopathological chenges were found in the male reproductive organs.
Executive summary:

The administration of the test article Araldite PT 810 ( TGIC ), by dietary admixture for 13 weeks to male Sprague Dawley rats was well tolerated at doses of 10 or 30 ppm ( 0.72 or 2.08 mg/kg/day). Slightly lower (approximately 10%) body weight gain was recorded for the 100 ppm (7.32 mg/kg/day) group. A slight, but dose-related decrease in the mean number of spermatozoa was observed in the TGIC treated groups. No treatment-related infertility was noted in males and no influence on embryonic or pup development was observed after mating with untreated females. Consequently, 30 ppm was considered as the no observed effect level (NOEL). At 100 ppm, the lower number of spermatozoa did not impair the fertility of the treated males and therefore this dose level was considered to be the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL
