Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Not Specified
Reliability:

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Study report does not specify a guideline followed, however results are quite deatiled for F2 & F3 generations.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Not specified
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Ionox 330 was fed to rats at dietary concentrations of 0 and 5,000 ppm. Observations were made on the health, body weight and food intake of each animal At 14 weeks of age one male and one female from a treatment group were selected at random and caged together for mating. Three litters were bred from each pair for three successive generations. The final litter from the third generation was examined for any evidence of teratogenic effects.
GLP compliance:
no
Limit test:
yes
Species:
rat
Strain:
other: Carworth Farm E
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
80 rats of the Carworth Farm E strain were used. These animals were bred and maintained under specific-pathogen-free conditions at this laboratory.
Groups of 20 male and 20 female rats, aged three weeks (FO), received diets (Diet 86, Scientific Products Farm).
The animals were caged in groups of two of each sex and given the appropriate diet. At 14 weeks of age, one male and one female from within a treatment group were selected at random and caged together for mating.
Route of administration:
oral: feed
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on exposure:
Not specified
Details on mating procedure:
At 14 weeks of age, one male and one female from within a treatment group were selected at random and caged together for mating. The pair remained together throughout the experiment and three litters were bred (F1a, F1b and F1c).
Litters F1a and F1c were killed at weaning. From each treatment group, one male and one female from each of the weaned second litters (F1b) were selected at random and fed the appropriate treatment diet. The rats were kept as for the FO generation, paired and mated when 100 days old. Three litters were bred (F2a, F2b and F2c), a selection made as before from F2b to produce the third generation litters, F3a, F3b and F3c.

Details on study schedule:
At 14 weeks of age, one male and one female from within a treatment group were selected at random and caged together for mating. The pair remained together throughout the experiment and three litters were bred (F1a, F1b and F1c). Litters F1a and F1c were killed at weaning. From each treatment group, one male and one female from each of the weaned second litters (F1b) were selected at random and fed the appropriate treatment diet. The rats were kept as for the FO generation, paired and mated when 100 days old. Three litters were bred (F2a, F2b and F2c), a selection made as before from F2b to produce the third generation litters, F3a, F3b and F3c.

Litter observations:
Daily observations were made on general health and behaviour of all animals. Records were kept of dates of mating, intervals between mating and number of pregnancies.

Statistics:
Statistical analyses of body and organ weights were made using the initial body weight as a covariate in covariance analysis.

Conclusions:
In conclusion feeding Ionox 330 to rats at a dietary concentration of 5,000 ppm for three generations produced no effects upon reproduction. No gross or histological evidence was found of congenital abnormalities attributable to Ionox 330.
Executive summary:

Ionox 330 was fed to rats at dietary concentrations of 0 and 5,000 ppm. Observations were made on the health, body weight and food intake of each animal At 14 weeks of age one male and one female from a treatment group were selected at random and caged together for mating. Three litters were bred from each pair for three successive generations. The final litter from the third generation was examined for any evidence of teratogenic effects.

Ionox 330 when fed to rats at a dietary concentration of 5,000 ppm for three generations produced no effects upon reproduction. No gross or histological evidence was found of any congenital abnormalities attributable to Ionox 330.
