Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Details on results:
- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
There were no mortalities in the control and high dose groups. One female at 2 µg/l and one male at 12 µg/l died intercurrently after 37 and 48 exposures, respectively. Deaths were judged to be of spontaneous nature.
Scattered occurrence of observations throughout all test groups without relation to dose were noted. No specific substance-related effect noted.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
Compared to control animals statistically reduced mean body weight gain (p<0.01) and reduced body weight from day 50 onwards (p<0.01) was seen in high dose male rats. Body weight was reduced by approx 14% compared to controls on day 85. In high dose females body weight change was significantly reduced (p<0.05) from day 71 onwards. Terminal body weight in females was reduced by 8% and statistically different from controls animals. No other statistically significant effect on body weight parameters were noted.
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION
no changes in any of the dose groups noted.
HAEMATOLOGY
Significant (p<0.05) reductions in hemoglobin, hemoglobin per erythrocyte, and in mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were noted in the male high dose rats only. Polychromatosis was noted.
Clotting test: statistically significant clotting time increase was only seen in females but not in males. This effect was not considered to be treatment related.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
Animals at 12 µg/l: statistically significant, but marginal increase of alkaline phosphatase (5.658 µkat/l vs. 4.949 µkat/l in controls) and GPT (glutamate pyruvate transaminase; 1.043 µkat/l vs. 0.845 µkat/l in controls) in male rats. GOT (glutamate oxalo-acetate transaminase) was not changed in male rats. Increase of alkaline phosphatase was only seen in this test group. No other change was noted in male or female animals.
Animals at 48 µg/l: statistically significant increase of GOT and GPT (but not alkaline phosphatase) compared with controls in male rats, but not in females rats. Activity of GPT in serum was 1.081 µkat/l vs. 0.845 µkat/l in control animals (p<0.01). A significant (p<0.01) decrease of serum triglycerides in high dose males was considered to result from a decreased food consumption which was assumed because of the reduced body weight development in this group. This finding was therefore regarded to be a secondary effect.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
Relative organ weight of liver, lung, and kidney was significantly increased in high dose male and female animals on the 1% or 5% level of significance. Relative weight of adrenals (p<0.05) and testes (p<0.01), and absolute lung weight (1.41 g vs. 1.18 g in controls) were significantly increased only in high dose male rats.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC
No effects in low and medium dose animal groups.
Effects in high dose animals included: Local irritative effects on the skin and slight hyperkeratosis in 7/10 male rats. Minimal to slight vacuolization of the craniodorsal olfactory epithelium in both male (2/10) and female (1/10 animals) rats. Significantly increased incidence of slight tubulonephrosis was noted in male rats only (6/10 vs. 1/10 in male controls; 9/10 females vs. 7/10 controls), and extramedulary haematopoesis in spleen was noted only in female rats (9/10). Hemosiderin was noted in spleen of all high dose animals.
