Details on study design:
Groups of 20 Sprague-Dawley rats of each sex were given 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol at a dose of 0, 30, or 60 mg/kg bw per day by gavage on 5 days per week for 4 weeks. Ten animals of each sex from each group were killed on day 2, and their blood was examined for clinical chemical parameters.

Examinations

Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
After 2 days of treatment, the relative weight of the kidney was increased in males at the higher dose and in females at both doses, and on day 25, the relative weights of the kidney, liver, and testis (males at the higher dose) were significantly increased in treated rats.
Histopathological examination revealed chronic progressive nephropathy in eight females at the higher dose and mild tubule dilatation in the testis of three males at the lower dose and seven at the higher dose. One male at the higher dose had severe atrophy of both testes.
