Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
during the ninth month of the study, the animals were cross mated and a new generation of animals bred.
Male gonads were evaluated and embryotoxic effects were examined. Early and late embryonic death
seved as indicators of embryotoxicity. These indicators were determined by calculating the numbers of
yellow bodies, places of implantation, and the number of normal, resorptive, and deformed tissues. The
length of newborns and the size and weight of placenta were also determined.

Examinations

Maternal examinations:
behaviour and body weight, cerebral perfusion pressure, morphological composition of the blood, content of blood sulphhydryl groups, catalytic activity, activity of cholinesterases and blood peroxidases, secretory functions of the liver, weight coefficient of the organs and their pathomorphological changes were studied
Ovaries and uterine content:
not mentioned
Fetal examinations:
Early and late embryonic death served as indicators of embryotoxicity; length of newborns, body weight
Statistics:
not specified

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
It was concluded that the test substance did not induce embryotoxicity, and did not affect the growth and development of the progeny. No difference in number of animals born per pregant female were noted.
Executive summary:

Compared to controls, substantial changes in certain dynamic factors evaluated (body weight, cerebral perfusion pressure, and hematological parameters early in the study in 250 mg/kg dose groups. However, toward the end of the study, practically none of the differences between test and control animals were considered substantial. Dosing with 50 mg/kg did not result in remarkable changes in any of the dynamic factors studied.

It was concluded that the test substance did not induce embryotoxicity, and did not affect the growth and development of the progeny.  No difference in number of animals born per pregant female were noted.
