Examinations
- Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
- HEALTH CONDITION CONTROL
All rats were observed pre-experimentally to ensure that only the animals exhibiting normal behavioural activity would be entered into the study. During the administration period they were examined for behaviour changes each day before, during application and immediately after application.
MORTALITY
Twice daily
CLINICAL OBSERVATION
Males and Females
All rats were observed daily during the administration period.
This observation was made in order to record possible clinical effects after application and all changes in behaviour of animals. So it was done after application at the same time every day
(11.00 – 13.00 p.m.) – at the time of expectation of maximal effect of the test substance. Animals were observed in natural conditions in their cages.
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATION
This observation was carried out before the first application and then weekly. At the first part of observation the behaviour of animals in the cage was monitored: piloerection, posture, position of eyelids, breathing, tonic or clonic movements, stereotypes or bizarre behaviour.
The second part was the observation during the removal from cage: reaction to handling, elasticity of skin, colour of mucous membranes, salivation, lacrimation, cleanliness of fur around foramina.
BODY WEIGHT
The body weight of animals was recorded on automatic balances with group mean computing module on specified days. All animals were weighed immediately before euthanasia too.
males - weekly
females - weekly in pre-mating and mating period, during pregnancy 0., 7th, 14th, 20th day, during lactation 0. or 1st, 3rd and 4th day
Weight increment was computed as a mean per group (in grams). Non-pregnant females (females without parturition) were not included in calculation of means in pregnancy and lactation period.
FOOD CONSUMPTION
In a specified day the remainder of pellets was weighed in each cage, the new food was weighed out and the food consumption for the previous week was computed.
In males mean values were calculated for each week of the study (except the mating period). Food consumption for animal/day was calculated from mean values of each group. The same way of calculation of mean food consumption was used for females in pre-mating period. In pregnancy and lactation period mean individual values (grams/animal/day) were calculated for each week of the study. Mean food consumption for each group was calculated from individual values. Nonpregnant females (females without parturition) were not included in calculation of mean food consumption in pregnancy and lactation period.
Food conversion in % (weight increment/food consumption x 100) was calculated for animals of repeated dose toxicity part of study. In pre-mating period the food consumption and conversion of females was calculated from values of all females. (Numbers of females for repeated dose toxicity part of study were chosen at the end of study).
WATER CONSUMPTION
The drinking water consumption was recorded in satellite males and females. The mean values in groups (water consumption per animal and per day) were calculated for each week of the study. - Sperm parameters (parental animals):
- In all males (except the satellite group) the following sperm parameters were examined: sperm motility and sperm morphology.
Sperm motility
Sperm samples were taken from one epididymis and sperm motility was assessed from these samples. The motility of sperm was determined by microscopic examination of the prepared sperm suspension.
The result of observation was evaluated subjectively according to following grades: 1 - fast progressive motility, 2 - slow progressive motility, 3 - no progressive motility, 4 - non-motile sperm.
Sperm morphology
Sperm samples were taken from one epididymis and sperm morphology was assessed from these samples. A smear from the sperm suspension was prepared and stained (Giemsa staining). The morphology of sperm was determined by microscopic examination.
All deviations – e.g. broken tail, abnormal form of tail, double head, amorphous head, and abnormal form of neck – were recorded. - Litter observations:
- All pups were observed in natural conditions in their cages daily during the lactation. Changes in behavioural abnormalities were recorded. Detailed examination of each litter was performed as soon as possible after delivery (day 0 or 1 post-partum) and the 4th day of lactation. The number and sex of pups, stillbirths, live births and presence of gross anomalies were recorded.
- Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
- SACRIFICE
Parental males: 43th day of study
Parental females: 4th day of lactation
Non-pregnant females: 55th day of study or 26th day after confirmed mating
GROSS NECROPSY
During the necropsy a revision of the external surface of the body, of all orifices and the cranial, thoracic and abdominal cavities were carried out.
HISTOPATHOLOGY / ORGAN WEIGHTS
The tissues indicated in Table 1 were prepared for microscopic examination and weighed, respectively. - Statistics:
- The ANOVA test - Analysis of Variance (QC.Expert 2.5) at significance level 0.05 was used for the statistical analysis (the raw data were used for statistical analysis). This statistical analysis was used for the results of body weight, results of haematology, blood biochemistry, urinalysis, biometry of organs and selected reproduction parameters – number of live born pups, number of corpora lutea, number of implantations, mean weight of pup on the 0./1st day and mean weight of pup on the 4th day. Males/females from control group were compared with males/females from three treated groups. Satellite males/females from control group were compared with satellite males/females from treated group.
- Reproductive indices:
- Male mating index= (number of males with confirmed mating / number of males cohabited) x 100
Female mating index = (number of sperm-positive females / number of females cohabited) x 100
Male fertility index = (number of males impregnating a females / number of males cohabited) x 100
Female fertility index = (number of pregnant females / number of sperm-positive females) x 100
Gestation index = (number of females with live born pups / number of pregnant females) x 100
Survival index = (number of live pups on day 4 post partum* / number of pups born alive+) x 100
* without still born pups (dead pups with anaerial lungs)
+ with dead pups with aerial lungs - Offspring viability indices:
- Pre-implantation loss Number of corpora lutea – number of implantations
Post-implantation loss Number of implantations – number of live births
Post-natal loss Number of live births – number of alive at postnatal day 4

- The NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) for the REPRODUCTION and DEVELOPMENT was established higher than 100 mg/kg body weight/day.
- Executive summary:
The test substance, Solvent Yellow 124, was tested for reproduction and sub-acute toxicity using the OECD Test Guideline No. 422: Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test, Adopted by the Council on March 22nd 1996.
Results of Reproduction Part of study
The oral administration of Solvent Yellow 124 to rats by gavage, the dose levels 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg/day, did not cause mortality.
The course of mating, pregnancy and lactation of parental animals, number of females achieving pregnancy, spermiogenesis and sperm parameters,biometry of reproductive organs and pituitary gland, macroscopical and microscopical structure of reproductive organs and pituitary gland of parental animals and sex ratio of pups were not adversely affected by the test substance treatment. The slight intergroup differences were considered to be of no toxicological significance.
Male ability to produce sperm that can fertilise eggs and female ability to achieve pregnancy was not significantly changed – number of females achieving pregnancy was similar in control and treated groups. The total number of live pups and mean number of pups per litter were decreased in high-dose females. Pre-implantation losses were slightly increased in females of the dose level 100 mg/kg/day but the pos-implantation and post-natal development of pups were not influenced.
Evaluation of pup weight revealed no effect on intrauterine pup growth attributable to test substance. The mean pup weight at birth was similar at all dose levels and control group. The slightly decreased mean weight of litter in treated groups was related with the decreased number of pups per litters. The body weight increments of pups at the treated groups from the birth to the 4th day after parturition were similar to the weight increment of pups in control group.
