Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- water
- Details on exposure:
- The test substance was administered to the stomach by gavage as the solution in aqua pro injectione. Oral way of administration was chosen according to the guideline and it was approved by sponsor. The animals were treated 7 days per week at the same time (8.00 – 10.00 am).
The concentrations of solutions at all dose levels were adjusted to ensure the administration of 1 mL per 100 g of body weight. The vehicle control group was administered by aqua pro injectione in the same volume. The application form (test substance solution in aqua pro injectione) was prepared daily just before administration. - Details on mating procedure:
- Animals were mated from the 15th day of study. Mating 1 : 1 (one male to one female) was used in this study. Each morning the females were examined for presence of spermatozoa in vaginal smears. Day 0 of pregnancy was defined as the day the sperms were found.

Food consumption: males - weekly (except the mating period)
females - weekly during premating period and after mating period
during pregnancy and lactation – on the same days as body weight
Clinical observations: males and females - daily during the administration period
pups - as soon as possible after delivery and then daily
Mortality control: daily
Laboratory examinations:
- vaginal smears: daily in mating period
- pathological examination: males and nonpregnant females - after the end of administration period
parental females and pups - on the 4th day of lactation
- weight of organs: during necropsy

FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study):
- Food consumption for each animal determined and mean daily diet consumption calculated as g food/kg body weight/day: Yes
-body weigh increment calculated: yes
WATER CONSUMPTION. yes
- Time schedule for examinations: weekly
OTHER:
mortality control: daily
Laboratory examinations:
- vaginal smears: daily in mating period
- pathological examination: males and nonpregnant females - after the end of administration period
parental females and pups - on the 4th day of lactation
- weight of organs: during necropsy
- sperm observation: all males after necropsy
- histopathological examination: all males and females after necropsy - Oestrous cyclicity (parental animals):
- Examination of reproductive system of parental females did not evidence any significant microscopical changes. Only changes pertinent to previous gravidity or proceeded oestrous cycle were recorded. Biometry of organs also proved no statistically significant and no dose dependent differences in treated females.
- Sperm parameters (parental animals):
- The test substance had effect on sperm quality of treated males. Increased number of males with slower sperm motility was recorded at treated groups and especially at the highest dose level. Percentage portion of morphologically changed sperms was slightly increased at all treated groups comparing with control group without dependence on dose level.
- Litter observations:
- litter size was decreased at the highest dose level (accompanied by lower number of corpora lutea and implantations) and this difference can be considered as an adverse effect of the test substance treatment because the litter size is an important indicator of overall reproductive performance. But the average weight of pups and the development of pups were not influenced by the test substance administration.

Introduction
The test substance, Acid Black 210, was tested for reproduction and subacute toxicity using the OECD Test Guideline No. 422:Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test, Adopted by the Council on March 22nd1996.
Methods
Wistar rats of SPF quality were used for testing. The test substance was administered in the form of solution in water for injection. Oral application by stomach tube was performed daily. The study includes four main groups and two satellite groups of animals. Each main group consisted of 12 males and 12 females; each satellite group consisted of 6 males and 6 females.Main groups contained 3 treated groups (doses 50, 150, 450 mg/kg of body weight /day) and one control group (vehicle only). The satellite groups contained one control group (vehicle only) and one treated group (450 mg/kg/day).The dose levels for study were determined on the basis of results of a dose-range finding study phase (see the Annex 2).
The treated groups were administered daily for the following periods:
males and females – 2 weeks prior to the mating period and during the mating period,
pregnant females – during pregnancy and till the 3rdday of lactation,
males – after mating period – totally for 42 days,
nonpregnant females (mated females without parturition) – for 25 days after the confirmed mating.
After the end of administration period the animals of main groups were sacrificed and satellite animals were observed for the next 14 days without treatment.
During the study clinical observation and health status control were performed daily. The body weight and food consumption were measured weekly or in the specified time intervals. Detailed clinical observation was carried out weekly. Water consumption was measured twice a week. Vaginal smears were prepared daily during the mating period (until the presence of spermatozoa). Reproduction parameters relevant to pups (number of pups, weight of litters, sex or vitality) were also recorded. Before the end of study the functional observation was accomplished.
The study was finished by urinalysis, haematological and biochemical analysis and gross necropsy of animals. In all males of main groups the sperm parameters, sperm motility and sperm morphology were examined. The selected organs from parental animals were removed for weighing and histopathological examination.
Reproduction part of study:
The course of mating, pregnancy and lactation of parental animals, number of females achieving pregnancy and bearing live pups, weights of reprodutive organs and pituitary gland, spermiogenesis and sperm parameters, macroscopical and microscopical structure of reproductive organs and pituitary gland of parental animals, number of pre-implantation, post-implantation and post-natal losses of mothers and number, weight, sex ratio and development of pups were not adversely affected by the test substance treatment at the dose levels 50 and 150 mg/kg/day.
The course of mating, pregnancy and lactation, weights of reprodutive organs and pituitary gland, spermiogenesis, macroscopical and microscopical structure of reproductive organs and pituitary gland of parental animals, number of post-natal losses of mothers, sex ratio, weight and development of pups were not adversely influenced by the test substance treatment at the dose level 450 mg/kg/day.
Examination of number of pups(decrease of the total number of live pups and average number of pups per litter),observation of sperms(slightly slower sperm motility),calculation of reproduction parameters(slightly decreased number of females achieving pregnancy) and calculation of pre-implantation and post-implantation losses (decreased number of corpora lutea, uterus implantations and pups) in animals of the dose level 450 mg/kg/day revealed adverse effects attributable to test substance.
