Examinations

Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
A daily examination (general appearance, mortality; other toxic signs) was performed throughout the entire study. Feed consumption and weight were recorded weekly. Urine analyses, consisting of urobilin, urobilinogen, albumin, acetone, bilirubin, color, occult blood, glucose, specific gravity, pH, appearance, red blood cells, white blood cells, casts, crystals, spermatozoa, and epithelial cells was conducted on each surviving animal; bacteriological analyses of the urine were conducted at day 0, 45, and 90. At day 90 of the study, all surviving animals were anesthetized and a whole body X-ray was made (dorsal ventral plain to evaluate the genital urinary system.
Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
From the groups, representative males were selected at random and sacrificed at day 160. The remaining 19 animals per group were exposed to the test substance until day 200 of the study when sacrificed.
Gross pathology and necropsy were performed:
Special attention was turned on the urogenital system beside following tissues:
adrenal gland, bone, bone marrow, brain, pituitary, gonads, heart, small intestine, large intestine, liver, lung, lymph nodes, pancreas, spleen, stomach, thyroid gland, skin, trachea, esophagus, salivary glands, eyes, tongue, seminal vesicles, prostate, bladder.

Results and discussion

Results: P0 (first parental generation)

General toxicity (P0)

Clinical signs:
no effects observed
Body weight and weight changes:
no effects observed
Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
no effects observed

Details on results (P0)

Body weights, feed consumption and weight gain were comparable to control. No gross signs of adverse systemic effect due to the ingestion of the test material were observed in any of the animals.
Compound consumption was determined as follows:
0 mg/kg bw/day (control), 75.14 mg/kg bw/day (0.125%), 1250.79 mg/kg bw/day (2%).

For observations of bladder and kidney pathology see chapter 7.5

Animals sacrificed during the study due to physiological problems:
Gross necropsy of one (succumbed on day 158 of study) out of three control animal showed congested testes and the ductus deferens appeared enlarged. One control animal succumbed on day 148 revealed severely congested prostate.

Gross necropsy of the four animals in Group II (0.125%), which were sacrificed on an unscheduled basis, revealed testes without pathological findings.

160-Day interim sacrifice:
---------------------------
At gross necropsy (160 days) the testes of the control group appeared normal.
Gross necropsy of the animals of Group II (0.125%) showed findings which were generally unremarkable. One male animal with right testis approximately 1/3 the expected normal size was observed.
Gross necropsy of the animals of Group III (2%) sacrificed at 160-days, revealed no effects on the testes.

200-Day Terminal Sacrifice:
----------------------------
Gross necropsy of the animals in Group I (controls) showed testes without findings.
Gross necropsy of the animals, of Group II ( 0.125%) showed findings which were generally unremarkable (testes without findings).
Gross necropsy of the animals of Group III (2%), showed findings which were generally unremarkable; one animal had small seminal vesicles.
