The eyes with optic nerve of animals that have died or were sacrificed intercurrently were fixed in 4% buffered formaldehyde solution. Fixation was followed by histotechnical processing and examination by light microscopy. - Statistics:
- - Clinical observations: body weight and body weight change were analyzed by a comparison of each group with the control group was performed using DUNNETT's test (two-sided) for the hypothesis of equal means. Feces, rearing, grip strength forelimbs, grip strength hindlimbs, footsplay test and motor activity were analyzed by non-parametric one-way analysis using KRUSKALWALLIS test (two-sided). If the resulting p-value was equal or less than 0.05, a pairwise comparison of each dose group with the control group was performed using WILCOXON test (two-sided) for the equal medians.
- Clinical pathology: clinical pathology parameters, urine volume and urine specific gravity were analyzed by non-parametric one-way analysis using KRUSKAL-WALLIS test (two-sided). If the resulting p-value was equal or less than 0.05, a pairwise comparison of each dose group with the control group was performed using WILCOXON-test (two-sided) for the equal medians. Urinalysis, except color, turbidity, volume and specific gravity were analyzed by pairwise comparison of each dose group with the control group using FISHER's exact test for the hypothesis of equal proportions
- Pathology: weight parameters were analyzed by Non-parametric one-way analysis using KRUSKAL-WALLIS test (two-sided). If the resulting p-value was equal or less than 0.05, a pairwise comparison of each dose group with the control group was performed using WILCOXON-test (two-sided) for the equal medians.
Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Details on results:
- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
- No rat died prematurely in the present study.
- Slight and moderate salivation after treatment was seen in 8 males (from study day 22 onwards) and 8 females (from study day 20 onwards) of test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d). Likewise slight and moderate salivation after treatment was seen in 7 male rats (from study day 53 onwards) and 7 female rats (from study day 31 onwards) of test group 2 (500 mg/kg bw/d).
One female rat (of the high dose group) showed alopecia in the neck region from study day 56 onwards what was possibly caused by fixing the rat for administration. Thus, the finding was assessed as being spontaneous and not test substance-related.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
No test substance-related changes of body weight and body weight change were observed in any test group. Body weight change was significantly decreased in male animals of test group 1 (100 mg/kg bw/d) on study day 21 (-8%) but was assessed as being incidental and not related to treatment.
FOOD CONSUMPTION
No test substance-related effects on food consumption were obtained. The food consumption values observed for male rats of test groups 1-3 (100, 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw/d) between study day 90 and 91 were lower because of a very high mean value in the controls which was caused by food spilling in cage 1 (5 male animals) while the value of control cage 2 (5 male animals) was within the normal range.
WATER CONSUMPTION
No test substance-related findings were observed.
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION
There were no treatment-related findings.
HAEMATOLOGY
No treatment-related changes among hematological parameters were observed.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
No treatment-related changes among clinical chemistry parameters were observed.
URINALYSIS
No treatment-related changes among urinalyses parameters were observed.
In the urine sediment of female rats of test group 1 (100 mg/kg bw/d) a higher incidence of crystals with unknown origin (tyrosin like crystals) was found. These crystals were not found dose-dependently and they were not accompanied by any other finding among the urine or blood parameters. Therefore, this finding was regarded as incidental and not treatment-related.
NEUROBEHAVIOUR
Deviations from "zero values" were obtained in several rats. However, as most findings were equally distributed between test-substance treated groups and controls, were without a dose-response relationship or occurred in single rats only, these observations were considered to have been incidental.
- Rearing was decreased by -55% in male animals of test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d) and by -47% in males of test group 2 (500 mg/kg bw/d). However, both parameters were within the historical control range.
- Regarding the overall motor activity as well as single intervals, no test substance-related deviations were noted for male and female rats. Overall motor activity of male animals in test groups 2 and 3 (500 and 1000 mg/kg bw/d) as well as single interval 2 of male animals of test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d) were decreased. All changes were assessed as being incidental as overall motor activity values were within the historical control range.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
- Absolute organ weights: when compared with the control group 0 (set to 100%), the following mean absolute weights were significantly increased in female animals: (1) heart (104% in the 100 mg/kg bw dose group, 97% in the 500 mg/kg bw dose group, and 106% in the 1000 mg/kg bw dose group) and ovaries (112% in the 100 mg/kg bw dose group, 100% in the 500 mg/kg bw dose group, and 116% in the 1000 mg/kg bw dose group). However, these findings were regarded as incidental as they did not show a clear dose response or histopathological correlates. All other mean absolute weight parameters did not show significant differences when compared to the control group 0.
- Relative organ weights: when compared with the control group 0 (set to 100%), relative liver weights (to body weight) was significantly increased in male animals (101% in the 100 mg/kg bw dose group, 104% in the 500 mg/kg bw dose group, and 112% in the 1000 mg/kg bw dose group). However, the liver weight change in male animals in test group 3 (1000 mg/kg bw/d) was regarded as treatment-related although a histopathological correlate could not be detected. All other mean relative weight parameters did not show significant differences when compared to the control group 0.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
All findings occurred either individually or were biologically equally distributed over control and treatment groups. They were considered to be incidental or spontaneous in origin and without any relation to treatment.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC
All findings occurred either individually or were biologically equally distributed over control and treatment groups. They were considered to be incidental or spontaneous in origin and without any relation to treatment.
HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA (if applicable)
Historical control data were available and were used for the evaluation of the biological significance of the observed changes.
