Results and discussion

Results: P0 (first parental generation)

General toxicity (P0)

Body weight and weight changes:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Increase of food consumption in amles of groups 3 and 4 before mating. In females, decrease of the food consumption and of the body weight before and during gestation, in groups 3 and 4.
Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Increase of food consumption in amles of groups 3 and 4 before mating. In females, decrease of the food consumption and of the body weight before and during gestation, in groups 3 and 4.

Reproductive function / performance (P0)

Reproductive performance:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
No effects on conception rate and on gestation duration. Decrease of the implantation incidence and loss after implantationin the group 4. Litter size reduced in group 4, also observed in the group 3 but the variation is within the historical control rang

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The observed effects on the offsprings are supposed to be the consequence of the effects on the P generation.
Executive summary:

A 1-generation study has been performed in the Wistar rat exposed to the substance at concentrations of 600, 3000 or 15000 ppm in the diet.

Effects on the food consumption and on the body weight of the females were observed at 3000 and 15000 ppm. At 15000 ppm, reduced implantation incidence, loss after implantation, reduced litter size were also observed.

In the offsprings of the groups treated with 3000 and 15000 ppm, a reduced mean body weight was seen on day 21 of lactation.

The NOEC is 600 ppm in both generations. The observed effects on the offsprings are supposed to be the consequence of the effects on the P generation.
