BODY WEIGHT: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: weekly

FOOD CONSUMPTION:

- Parameters examined: pH, protein, glucose, urobilinogen, urine sediment
Sacrifice and pathology:
GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes
Macroscopical Examination: At the end of the 30 day toxicity study or after an additional recovery period of two weeks the treated and control rats were bled under ether anaesthesia and complete autopsy was carried out. The total weight of each animal was determined and following organs were weighed: liver, kidneys and adrenals. The mean organ weights and mean organ to body weight ratios of each of these organs were calculated for all treated and control groups.

HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes
Tissue portions of trachea, lungs, liver, pancreas, salivary gland, stomach, small and large intestine, heart, spleen, lymph nodes, thymus, kidneys, urinary bladder, testicles or ovaries, prostate or uterus, pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, skeletal muscle, skin, malMlary glands, bone marrow, eyes, brain, spinal cord , sciatic nerve, oesophagus and all other organs and tissues which showed macroscopical changes were fixed in buffered 10 % formalin.
The fixed tissues samples of liver, kidneys and adrenals were embedded in paramat and cut at 3 - 5 µ. The routine stain was haematoxylin and eosin. Sections from liver, kidneys and adrenals were also stained by Perl's method for·iron.
Additional frozen sections from liver were specifically stained for fat with Sudan Ill. Only the liver, kidneys and adrenals were histologically examined.
Statistics:
For each time point and parameter a uni-variate statistical analysis was conducted. Due to the routine manner of the analysis system parameter free methods were applied. The treated group was compared to the control group in respect of dispersion and displacement (Y. Lepage, Biometrika (1971) 58: pp. 213-217).

CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
No animal died during the treatment and/or the recovery period. No clinical symptoms and no signs of local and/or systemic toxicity were observed.

BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
The body weight gain of all treated and control rats was comparable during the test and the recovery period.

FOOD CONSUMPTION
The mean food consumption of all treated animals was comparable to the controls during the 30 days of administration and during the recovery period.

FOOD EFFICIENCY
The mean food conversion of the males and females of the treated group was comparable to the controls.

OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION
Eye examinition did not reveal any ocular changes.

AUDITORY PERCEPTION
No loss of hearing ability was registred.

HAEMATOLOGY
The observed haematological findings between treated rats and controls were unremarkable.

CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
In the assessment of blood chemistry values the findings were unremarkable and comparable to those of the controls.

URINALYSIS
The findings in the urine were unremarkable. Individual rats revealed some degree of physiological proteinuria including those of the control group. This is considered normal in laboratory rats.

ORGAN WEIGHTS
Organ weights and organ to bodyweight ratios revealed no statistically significant differences between treated and control animals.

GROSS PATHOLOGY
No compound related gross anatomical changes were noted.

HISTOPATHOLOGY
All minor changes seen in some control and treated rats were only incidental in nature and not related to the treatment withthe test item.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
It can be concluded from the observations made during the study that 1000 mg/kg/day of the test item produced no observable effects in male and female rats when administrated daily by gavage over a period of 30 days.
Executive summary:

The toxicity of test item was investigated during a period over 30 day on females and males rats by oral administration.


No observable effects were observed at a dosage of 1000 mg/kg/day.
