- Statistics:
- The following statistical methods were used to analyze the data:
- If the variables could be assumed to follow a normal distribution, the Dunnett-test (many-to-one t-test) based on a pooled variance estimate was applied for the comparison of the treated groups and the control groups for each sex.
- The Steel-test (many-to-one rank test) was applied when the data could not be assumed to follow a normal distribution.
- The exact Fisher-test3 was applied to frequency data.
All tests were two-sided and in all cases p < 0.05 was accepted as the lowest level of significance. Group means were calculated for continuous data and medians were calculated for discrete data (scores) in the summary tables. Test statistics were calculated on the basis of exact values for means and pooled variances. Individual values, means and standard deviations may have been rounded off before printing. Therefore, two groups may display the same printed means for a given parameter, yet display different test statistics values.

- Details on results:
- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY. Animals at 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day showed yellow faeces during the treatment period and/or Day 1 of the recovery period. Since the test substance is a yellow pigment, this finding was considered to be related to staining properties of the test substance and of no toxicological significance.
Male no. 23 at 1000 mg/kg/day showed hunched posture, laboured respiration and piloerection prior to being killed in extremis. Female no. 52 at 1000 mg/kg/day showed hunched posture and/or piloerection between Days 13 and 15. The macro- and microscopic abnormalities in these animals were consistent with a gavage trauma and, therefore, these clinical signs were considered not to be related to toxic properties of the test substance. No mortality occurred that was considered to be related to the test substance. Male no. 23 at 1000 mg/kg/day was killed in extremis on Day 9. Based on the macro- and microscopic abnormalities observed in this animal, this death was considered a consequence of a gavage trauma and, therefore, not to be related to toxic properties of the test substance.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN. No toxicologically relevant changes in body weight and body weight gain were observed.
Female no. 52 at 1000 mg/kg/day showed body weight loss in the second week of treatment, but body weight gain similar to control animals during continuing treatment. The macro- and microscopic abnormalities in this animal were consistent with a gavage trauma and, therefore, the body weight loss was considered not to be related to toxic properties of the test substance.
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE. Food consumption before or after allowance for body weight was similar between treated and
control animals.
HAEMATOLOGY. No toxicologically relevant changes occurred in haematological parameters of treated rats.
Female no. 52 at 1000 mg/kg/day showed the following changes in haematology parameters compared to other females: higher relative neutrophil counts, relative reticulocyte counts and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and lower white blood cell counts (WBC), relative lymphocyte counts, red blood cell counts and haemoglobin levels. The macro- and microscopic abnormalities in this animal were consistent with a gavage trauma and, therefore, these changes in haematology parameters were considered not to be related to toxic properties of the test substance.
Minor statistically significant differences when compared to control animals included lower relative basophil counts in males at 30 mg/kg/day at the end of treatment, higher relative lymphocyte counts and lower relative neutrophil counts in males at 1000 mg/kg/day at the end of recovery and higher relative monocyte counts in females at 1000 mg/kg/day at the end of recovery. These changes were considered of no toxicological significance as they remained within the range considered normal for rats of this age and strain, occurred in the absence of a treatment-related distribution and/or occurred only at the end of the recovery period.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY. No toxicologically relevant changes occurred in clinical biochemistry parameters of treated rats.
Bile acid levels of two males (nos. 27 and 30) at 1000 mg/kg/day were higher at the end of treatment, but returned to levels comparable to control males at the end of recovery. In the absence of any corroborative findings in these animals and normal bile acid levels in other animals of this dose group, this finding was considered of no toxicological significance.
Minor statistically significant differences when compared to control animals included lower creatinine levels in females at 300 mg/kg/day at the end of treatment, higher chloride and inorganic phosphate levels in males at 1000 mg/kg/day at the end of recovery and lower albumin levels in females at 1000 mg/kg/day at the end of recovery. These changes were considered of no toxicological significance as they remained within the range considered normal for rats of this age and strain, occurred in the absence of a treatment-related distribution and/or occurred only at the end of the recovery period.
NEUROBEHAVIOUR. No toxicologically relevant findings in hearing ability, pupillary reflex, static righting reflex and grip strength were observed.
One male (no. 19) at 300 mg/kg/day and one male (no. 25) at 1000 mg/kg/day showed abnormalities in pupillary reflex of the left eye, which coincided with exophthalmos and opacity for the male at 1000 mg/kg/day. In the absence of findings in the right eyes of both animals and in the absence of findings in other treated animals, these findings were considered incidental and not related to treatment with the test substance.
The variation in motor activity did not indicate a relation with treatment.
ORGAN WEIGHTS. No toxicologically relevant changes occurred in organ weights and organ to body weight ratios
of treated rats.
Female no. 52 at 1000 mg/kg/day showed higher thymus and kidney weights and thymus and kidney to body weight ratios at the end of treatment. The macro- and microscopic abnormalities in this animal were consistent with a gavage trauma and, therefore, these changes in organ weights were considered not to be related to toxic properties of the test substance.
Several minor differences in organ weights and organ to body weight ratios achieved statistical significance when compared to control animals. These changes included higher seminal vesicle weights and seminal vesicles to body weight ratios in males at 30 and 300 mg/kg/day at the end of treatment and in males at 1000 mg/kg/day at the end of recovery, higher spleen weights and/or spleen to body weight ratios in females at all dose levels at the end of treatment, higher liver to body weight ratio in females at 1000 mg/kg/day at the end of treatment and higher thyroid weight and higher thyroid to body weight ratio in females at 1000 mg/kg/day at the end of recovery. These changes were considered of no toxicological significance as they remained within the range considered normal for rats of this age and strain and occurred in the absence of supportive microscopic findings in these organs. Furthermore, they occurred in the absence of a treatment-related distribution, were considered to have arisen as a result of slightly high or low control values and/or occurred only at the end of the recovery period.
Other organ weights and organ to body weight ratios among the dose groups were similar to control levels.
GROSS PATHOLOGY. Greenish content in the gastrointestinal tract was noted for the majority of animals at 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day at the end of treatment, but not at the end of recovery. Since the test substance is a yellow pigment, this finding was considered to be related to staining properties of the test substance and of no toxicological significance.
Male no. 23 at 1000 mg/kg/day showed yellowish discolouration of the glandular mucosa of the stomach, yellowish watery-cloudy fluid in the thoracic cavity, pale discolouration of enlarged kidneys, a gelatinous thymus and several tissues which were grown together: pericardium with thymus, left lobe of lungs with right medial lobe of lungs and pleura with lungs. Female no. 52 at 1000 mg/kg/day showed yellowish discolouration of the esophagus at the level of the thymus, pale discolouration of kidneys, isolated yellowish hard nodules on the thymus and many yellowish hard nodules on the diaphragm which was grown together with the lungs. Together with the microscopical findings, the macroscopical abnormalities in these animals were consistent with a gavage trauma and, therefore, considered not to be related to toxic properties of the test substance.
Other incidental findings among control females and treated animals included alopecia, a sore, scabs, exophthalmus and reddish discolouration of the left eye, isolated red foci on the thymus, reddish discolouration of the mandibular lymph nodes and/or reduced size of seminal vesicles. These findings are occasionally seen among rats used in these types of studies. In the absence of a treatment-related distribution they were considered changes of no toxicological significance.
No macroscopical abnormalities were noted for control males, females at 30 mg/kg/day and recovery males at 1000 mg/kg/day.
HISTOPATHOLOGY. There were no microscopic findings recorded which could be attributed to toxic properties of the test substance.
The greenish contents of the gastrointestinal tract, considered due to pigment nature of the test substance, were not associated with any pathological alterations in animals at 1000 mg/kg/day.
There was no evidence of alterations in estrus cycle between the control and treated females. The microscopic alterations recorded for male no. 23 and female no. 52 at 1000 mg/kg/day were consistent with a gavage trauma and, therefore, considered not to be related to toxic properties of the test substance. These alterations included tubular dilatation, granular casts, tubular basophilia and yellow brown crystals in the kidneys of both animals at 1000 mg/kg/day and osteonecrosis in the trabecular bone of the femur and tibia of male no. 23.
The remainder of the recorded microscopic findings were within the normal range of background
alterations encountered in Wistar rats of this age and strain.
