Examinations

Maternal examinations:
CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: Animals were inspected visually at least twice daily for evidence of ill-health or reaction to treatment. Cages were inspected daily for evidence of animal ill-health amongst the occupant(s).
During the acclimatization period, observations of the animals and their cages were recorded at least once per day.

DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: Detailed observations were recorded daily at the following times in relation to dose administration: At the end of dosing each group; One to two hours after completion of dosing all groups; As late as possible in the working day
A detailed physical examination was performed on each animal on Days 0, 5, 12, 18 and 20 after mating to monitor general health.

BODY WEIGHT: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: The weight of each adult was recorded on Days 0, 3 and daily from Day 6 after mating.

FOOD CONSUMPTION: Yes
- The weight of food supplied to each adult, that remaining and an estimate of any spilled was recorded for the periods Days 0-2, 3-5, 6-9, 10 -13, 14-17 and 18-19 after mating inclusive.

POST-MORTEM EXAMINATIONS: Yes
- Animals were killed on Day 20 after mating by Carbon dioxide asphyxiation
- Necropsy: All adult animals were subject to a detailed necropsy. After a review of the history of each animal, a full macroscopic examination of the tissues was performed. All external features and orifices were examined visually. Any abnormality in the appearance or size of any organ and tissue (external and cut surface) was recorded and the required tissue samples preserved in appropriate fixative.
Ovaries and uterine content:
The ovaries and uterine content was examined after termination: Yes
Examinations included:
- Gravid uterus weight (including cervix and ovaries): Yes
- Number of corpora lutea: Yes
- Number of implantation sites: Yes
- Number of early resorptions: Yes
- Number of late resorptions: Yes
- Number of Fetuses (live and dead): Yes
Fetal examinations:
Method of kill for fetuses: Chilling on a cool plate (approximately 0 °C)
Examination of all viable fetuses and placentae: Dissected from the uterus, individually weighed and identified within the litter using a coding system based on their position in the uterus. Examined externally with abnormalities recorded. The sex of each fetus was recorded.
Examination of nominally 50% of fetuses in each litter: Sexed internally and eviscerated.
Fixation: Fetuses eviscerated were fixed in Industrial Methylated Spirit (IMS). Remaining fetuses were fixed whole in Bouin’s fluid.
Processing: Bouin’s fixed fetuses were subject to free-hand serial sectioning.
IMS fixed fetuses were processed and stained with Alizarin Red.

Fetal Pathology Examination
Bouin’s fixed fetuses: Serial sections were examined for visceral abnormalities.
Alizarin Red stained fetuses: Assessed for skeletal development and abnormalities.
Statistics:
See " Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables"
Indices:
Pre-implantation loss (%) = [(Number of corpora lutea – Number of implantations) / Number of corpora lutea] x 100
Post-implantation loss (%)= [(Number of implantations – Number of live fetuses) / Number of implantations] x 100
