Examinations

Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Both mother and pups were monitored for ill health such as bloating, diarrhoea and abnormal weight gain or loss. Behaviour of these animals was also monitored.

DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: No data

BODY WEIGHT: Yes

WATER CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if drinking water study): Yes

OTHER: Haematology, Clinical Chemistry and Neurobehavioural examinations
Litter observations:
PARAMETERS EXAMINED
The following parameters were examined in F1 offspring: number and sex of pups, stillbirths, live births, postnatal mortality, presence of gross anomalies, weight gain, physical or behavioural abnormalities

Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
Organs were examined for size and weight . histological appearance of major organs or tissues were examined.



Postmortem examinations (offspring):
Organs were examined for size and weight

Any other information on results incl. tables

Litter sizes (7-9 pups) and all pups were normal at birth. Pups grew at a normal rate, were healthy, and all survived until weaning at 21 days.

Test item level in the blood gradually elevated with increasing test item in the water, reaching 900 µM with 20% test item supplements compared to 100 µM in control. A similar test item concentration profile was also observed in males and non-pregnant females. Blood test item levels in 30-day-old pups also increased steadily and reached 900 µM with 20% test item water. In the milk samples, the test item rose from 60 µM in normal mice up to > 500 µM in mice given 20% test item water.

The test item did not cause bloating, diarrhoea, abnormal behaviour, weight gain or loss, or increase in haemoglobin glycation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
This study and the conclusions which are drawn from it fulfil the quality criteria (validity, reliability, repeatability).
Organ weights, histology, litter size, and growth of pups were normal after 5 months of dosing test item in drinking water.
Executive summary:

Test item-supplemented water given to mice for 5 months did not show any adverse or pathological effects on parents or offspring. Organ weights, histology, litter size, and growth of pups were normal. Water intake of mice given 20% test item in their water was reduced to half compared to other groups. Test item level in the blood gradually elevated with increasing test item in the water, reaching 900 µM with 20% test item supplements compared to 100 µM in control. A similar test item concentration profile was also observed in males and non-pregnant females. Blood test item levels in 30-day-old pups also increased steadily and reached 900 µM with 20% test item water. In the milk samples, the test item rose from 60 µM in normal mice up to > 500 µM in mice given 20% test item water.
