Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
3 (not reliable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: According to the OECD SIDS document for sodium hydroxide (March 2002), a Klimisch 3 reliability score was assigned since an unsuitable test system is used.

Title:
Effect of Some Nonspecific Factors Accompanying Intraamniotic Injection in Mouse Foetus Folia Morphol.
Author:
Dostal M
Year:
1973
Bibliographic source:
Folia Morphol, 21: 97-101

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
On the 13th day of gestation, 2 µl 0.001 M NaOH solution was injected intraamniotically to groups of foetuses from 7 females. The results were read on the 16th day of gestation. Foetal mortality and the incidence of cleft palate in surviving embryos were studied.
GLP compliance:
no
Limit test:
no

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
The mortality of foetuses was 46 % but no mortality was found in the surviving foetuses. No cleft palates were observed.
