Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Species:
mouse
Strain:
other: Swiss Albino Strain
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Source: Animal House Unit of the USM Health Campus
adult, healthy mice (10-12 weeks old), body weights: females: 29.51+/-0.22g, males: 36.28+/-0.37g
reared in cages, comercial pellet diet and distilled water ad libitum

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
intraperitoneal
Vehicle:
distilled water
Duration of treatment / exposure:
6, 24, 48 hours
Frequency of treatment:
once
Post exposure period:
90 min. before sacrifice: intraperitoneally injection of caochicine (4mg/kg)
Doses / concentrations
Remarks:
2000mg/kg body weight (synthetic hydroxyapatite granules, porous form, 100 - 200 microns in size, dispersed in 0.5ml of distilled water)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 females + 5 males per dose, 3 doses
+ negative control group + positive control group
Control animals:
yes
yes, concurrent vehicle
Positive control(s):
Mitomycin C (1.5 mg/kg bw), killed 24 hours after treatment

Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
bone marrow from both femurs
Details of tissue and slide preparation:
The cells were flushed in water, centrifuged, fixed on slides and stained with Leishman's stain in phosphate buffered saline. A total of 100 metaphase cells per animal were scored under a microscope for chomosomal abberations, documented by photographs. Then the mitotic index as mean of 10 animals was calculated.
Statistics:
mean values, standard errors and satistical evaluation following ANOVA tset and subsequent comparing with Duncan's newe multiple range test values
