Post-exposure period: Yes, for a sub group of males and females for 14 days

Additional details regarding this study are provided in section 7.5.1.

Examinations

Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
Regarding reproductive toxicity, the number of estrous cases, number of conceiving days, number of pregnant females, gestation length, delivery conditions, nursing conditions, number of corpora lutea, number of implantation sites, and the implantation rate were evaluated.

Additional details regarding this study are provided in section 7.5.1.
Litter observations:
Regarding the pups, the number of births, number of stillbirths, number of pups born, and general signs were examined.
Reproductive indices:
The copulation index, fertility index, and gestation index were assessed.
Offspring viability indices:
Regarding the pups, delivery index, birth index, and live birth index were assessed.

Details on results (P0)

Regarding reproductive toxicity, a low number of estrous cases was noted in the 1000 mg/kg bw/day group. No changes attributable to the test article were noted for the copulation index, number of conceiving days, number of pregnant females, fertility index, gestation length, gestation index, delivery conditions, nursing conditions, number of corpora lutea, number of implantation sites, or the implantation rate.
