- Purity: Corn oil was periodically sampled and analyzed for a variety of potential impurities. The results of these analyses, which have been archived, were unremarkable. - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- Concentration:
The concentration of the test substance in the various test diets was analytically verified 4 separate times during the in-life phase of this study (weeks 1, 5, 9, and 14). The mean analytical concentrations for each dose group were 138, 423, and 2945 ppm, with all values remaining within approximately 15% of the corresponding nominal concentrations of 150, 500, and 3000 ppm, respectively.
Homogeneity:
Feed was analyzed for uniformity of distribution/homogeneity of the test substance in rat diet. Therefore, three samples were taken from each of three distinct layers (top, middle and buttom) in a mixing bowl containing a nominal concentration of either 50 or 5000 ppm. The mean concentration was determined to be 46.5 ppm and 4341 ppm, respectively. Based on the results, it was judged that the test substance was homogeneously distributed in the feed over a concentration range of 50 - 5000 ppm (with a coefficient of variation below to 10%).
Stability:
A time and temperature analysis of feed containing nominal concentrations of 50 and 5000 ppm of the test substance was conducted. Based on the criteria of at least 80% recovery of the initial chemical concentration, the test substance mixed in rodent ration was judged to be stable following room temperature storage for a minimum of 7 days and refrigerator storage for a minimum 28 days, respectively, over a concentration range of 50 - 5000 ppm. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- approximately 14 weeks
- Frequency of treatment:

OTHER:
- Estrous cycle staging: The estrous cycle of each female was determined by examining daily vaginal smears and charted over a 3-week period prior to their respective termination. If possible, animals were selected for terminal sacrifice that were determined to be in the same estrous cycle stage in order to alleviating any possible effects of non-synchronous estrous cycle stage on various measured parameters (uterus weight, follicular population, etc.). - Sacrifice and pathology:
- All animals were sacrificed by exsanguination and/or CO2 asphyxiation and subject to a postmortem examination for documenting and saving all gross lesions, weighing designated organs, and collecting representative tissue specimens for histopathologic evaluation. All tissues from control and high dose (3000 ppm) animals, as well as gross lesions from all animals were examined under a light microscope.
GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes
The following organs were weighed: adrenal glands, brain, epididymides, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, ovaries, spleen, testicles, thymus, thyroid, and uterus
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes
Histopathologic evaluation included the following organs/tissues: integumentary- skin, mammary gland; musculoskeletal- bone (femur, rib/cc jet, sternum), joint (fem/tib), muscle (protocol), skull; respiratory- lungs, larynx, trachea, nasopharynx; cardiovascular- heart, aorta; hematopoietic- spleen, bone marrow, lymph node (cervical), lymph node (mesenteric), thymus; digestive- liver, cecum, colon, esophagus, pancreas, rectum, salivary gland, small intestine (duodenum, ileum, jejunum), stomach; urogenital- kidneys, ovaries, testicles, cervix, clitoral gland, epididymis, preputial gland, prostate, seminal vesicles, urinary bladder, uterus, vagina; endocrine- adrenal glands, parathyroid, pituitary, thyroid; nervous- brain (cerebellum, cerebrum-midbrain, medulla/pons), optic nerve, sciatic nerve, spinal cord (cervical, lumbar, thoracic); special senses- exorbital lacrimal gland, eyes, harderian glands, Zymbal's gland; gross lesions, physical identifier, and associated tissues - Statistics:
- Continuous data that were examined statistically were evaluated initially for equality or homogeneity of variance using Bartlett's test (Snedecor and Cochran, 1967). Group means were further analyzed by a one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) (Snedecor and Cochran, 1967) followed by Dunnett's test (Dunnett, 1955, 1964). In the event of unequal variances, and at the discretion of the study director, data were subject to non-parametric procedures consisting of a Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA (Hollander and Wolfe, 1973) followed by the Mann-Whitney-U test for between-group comparisons. Frequency data were initially examined for trends; data suggestive of a potential effect were then statistically evaluated using the chi-square, Fisher exact, or chi-square and Fisher exact tests. On a case by case basis, data were subject to additional statistical procedures other than those mentioned above. For the Bartlett test, a probability (p) value < 0.001 was considered significant; for all other statistical tests, differences with p values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No clinical signs attributable to exposure to the test substance were observed.
- Mortality:
- mortality observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- Survival of the treated animals was comparable to control animals. One male rat given 500 ppm was found dead on Day 17. The cause of death was undetermined.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The body weight gain was comparable to the control in both sexes at doses up to and including 500 ppm. Animals given 3000 ppm showed a reduced body weight gain for both sexes of approximately 11 and 12% in the male and female, respectively.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Food consumption and utilization was similar to the control at all doses tested.
- Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Description (incidence and severity):
- not applicable
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Description (incidence and severity):
- not applicable
- Ophthalmological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Pre- and post-exposure ophthalmological examinations provided no evidence that the test substance induced ophthalmic toxicity in either sex at any dose tested.
- Haematological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Evaluation of the data from blood collected approximately 14 weeks into the study provided no indication that the test article induced change in either sex at any dose tested.
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- At the highest dose tested, increased hepatic enzyme activities were measured. There was statistically increased induction of N-demethylase and O-demethylase enzyme activity in the liver tissue of the 3000 ppm males. Slight, non-statistical increase in cytochrome P-450 in 3000 ppm males and females associated with increased N-demethylase in 3000 ppm females suggest subtle response to compound exposure.
In general, these changes in enzyme activity may reflect an adaptive response by the liver to an increased need to facilitate the metabolism and excretion of an exogenously administered test substance. Morphological evidence of a direct toxicological effect of the test item on the liver was not observed. - Endocrine findings:
- not examined
- Description (incidence and severity):
- not applicable
- Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Evaluation of urine chemistries from samples collected approximately 14 weeks into the study provided no indication that the test substance induced change in either sex at any dose tested.
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- not examined
- Description (incidence and severity):
- not applicable
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Description (incidence and severity):
- not applicable
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Relative organ weight increases were seen for brain, kidney, and testis of 3000 ppm males and for brain and heart of 3000 ppm females at the 13-week termination. Relative organ weight increases were also present in 3000 ppm recovery females for brain, lung, spleen, and ovaries. These variations were considered secondary due to alterations in body weight gain observed in both sexes at the highest dose tested. This conclusion was also supported by the lack of microscopic evidence of direct toxicological effect of the test item on any tissue examined in this study.
- Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were no treatment-related gross lesions at necropsy.
- Neuropathological findings:
- not examined
- Description (incidence and severity):
- not applicable
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- A statistically significant increased incidence of pigmentation which was associated with exposure to the test item was observed in the spleen of 3000 ppm males (13/15) compared to the control animals (6/15). However, this microscopic lesion was not present at the recovery groups termination. The increased incidence of pigmentation was suggested to be deposition of hemosiderin, an iron-containing pigment derived from the hemoglobin of disintegrating red blood cells.
- Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- not examined
- Description (incidence and severity):
- not applicable
- Other effects:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Estrous cycle staging:
There was no effect of treatment on the duration and stages of the estrous cycle in females at any dose level, and no effects on ovarian follicular populations. - Details on results:
- Recovery group:
By conclusion of the recovery period, reversibility was suggested in every parameter that had been influenced; many parameters had fully reverted to control levels.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The study was performed under GLP conditions and similar to OECD TG 408. Deviations from the current OECD guideline (2018) were related to detailed clinical observations, specific blood parameters and specific organ weights. However, the study is considered reliable and valid. Under the conditions of this study, the NOAEL for subchronic toxicity was considered to be 500 ppm, corresponding to 27.9 mg/kg bw/day for males and 34.0 mg/kg bw/day for females based on the occurrence of reduced body weight gain in both sexes, and hepatic microsomal enzyme induction in both sexes at 3000 ppm and pigmentation of the spleen in males only at 3000 ppm.
