Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Body weight was decreased 50-60% in animals given 40 mg/kg
bwt by s.c. injection. Calcium absorption by the small
intestine was significantly decreased (both sexes)while
total plasma calcium was slightly but significantly elevated
in females only. The rate of longitudinal bone growth could
not be determined since disodium HEDP interfered with
tetracycline binding in bone. The proximal tibial epiphyseal
plates were enlarged in both sexes, and the amount of
mineralised tissue present in the proximal tibial metaphyses
increased. There were mineralisation arrest lines in the
metaphyseal spongiosa, which possibly corresponded with the
daily s.c. injections of disodium HEDP.

Body weight was significantly decreased 30-40% in animals
given 360 mg disodium HEDP/kg bwt/d for 28 days. Calcium
absorption by the small intestine was decreased
significantly in both sexes (plasma calcium not reported),
with significant increases in growth plate thickness and the
percentage of mineralised tissue present in the proximal
tibial metaphyses.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Repeated oral administration or subcutaneous injection of
disodium HEDP resulted in marked changes in osseous tissues
and calcium parameters in male and female rats.
