Test condition : TEST ORGANISMS<br />

- Age: 8 weeks at the study start<br />

- Weight at study initiation: 132 g<br />

- Number of animals: 30 male rats/group<br />

ANIMAL MAINTENANCE<br />

Housing: 3 rats/cage<br />

Diet: NIH-07, ad libitum<br />

Water: ad libitum<br />

Room air: 21°C, relative humidity: 50 %<br />

lightening: light/dark cycle of 12-h duration<br />

ADMINISTRATION / EXPOSURE<br />

- Administration of TS: 72 weeks<br />

- Duration of test: 93 weeks<br />

- Post exposure period: approx. 20 weeks<br />

- Vehicle: diet (NIH-07)<br />

- Concentration in vehicle: 0.028 mol/kg feed = 4g/kg feed = 4000 ppm<br />

CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS AND FREQUENCY<br />

- Body weight: mean data recorded at the onset, after 1 year and after 73<br />

weeks<br />

- Food consumption: in 3 animals/group over a 2 days period<br />

every 3 weeks<br />

- Clinical signs: no data<br />

- Mortality: recorded monthly from month 8 to month 22 of the test period<br />

ORGANS EXAMINED AT NECROPSY (MACROSCOPIC AND<br />

MICROSCOPIC):<br />

- All remaining animals were killed after 93<br />

test weeks.<br />

- Upon necropsy, gross lesions and representative samples of major<br />

organs (no details specified) were fixed in 10% buffered formalin and<br />

processed for microscopic evaluation.<br />

STATISTICS:<br />

STATISTICAL METHODS: significance was evaluated by the chi-squaretest<br />

Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />

study doesn't meet the criteria of today: too short in uration, to small<br />

number of animals , only one dose, reported in brief<br />

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

03.06.2004 (361) (356)<br />

Species : rat<br />

Sex : no data<br />

Strain : other: no data<br />
