Any other information on results incl. tables

There was no effect on fertility of females, number of young born per litter and body weight. There was a decrease in body weight gain during lactation that was related to the tin content of the diet. The mortality of F2 generation litters during the first 10 days of lactation was higher than controls, but decreased following an increase in iron in the diet. Haematological studies showed that there was a marked decrease in haemoglobin in the pups at weaning age, that was related to the tin content of the diet. After weaning, haemoglobin content returned to normal. Microscopic changes were observed in the liver and spleen in the F3b pups at weaning but were not observed in young at 4 weeks of age. A visceral and skeletal examination of the F2b generation rats did not show any tin-related teratogenic effects.

The growth of the parent rats was not adversely affected in any generation (Sinkeldam et al., 1979).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No teratogenic effects. The growth of the parent rats was not adversely affected in any generation.
