5. TOXICITY ID: <strong>95</strong>-<strong>53</strong>-4<br />
DATE: 07.01.2005<br />
Reliability : (4) not assignable<br />
insufficient documentation<br />
Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />
26.05.2004 (365) (366)<br />
5.8.3 TOXICITY TO REPRODUCTION, OTHER STUDIES<br />
Type : other: repeated dose toxicity<br />
In vitro/in vivo : In vivo<br />
Species : rat<br />
Sex : male<br />
Strain : Fischer 344<br />
Route of admin. : oral feed<br />
Exposure period : 13 and 26 weeks<br />
Frequency of treatm. : continuous<br />
Duration of test : 26 weeks<br />
Doses : 0, 5000 ppm (approximately 375 mg/kg bw/day)<br />
Control group : yes<br />
Method : other: comparative toxicity and carcinogenicity<br />
Year : 1992<br />
GLP : yes<br />
Test substance : other TS: o-toluidine hydrochloride, purity 100%<br />
Remark : Comparative Toxicity and Carcinogenicity Study. In this study onitrotoluene<br />
was administered in the same manner as o-toluidine and in<br />
addition in rats pretreated with antibioticum and therefore alterated<br />
gastrointestinal flora.<br />
Results of investigations on testis find herein, others see Chapters 5.4 and<br />
5.7<br />
Result : TESTIS<br />
--Relative weight of testis was significantly increased with 5.07 versus 4.61<br />
g after 13 weeks and 4.8 versus 4.2 g after 26-weeks<br />
--Degeneration of seminiferous tubules was a unilateral<br />
testicular lesion present in 5% to 10% of rats from each<br />
exposed group. At 26 weeks, 2 of 20 rats had epididymal<br />
mesothelioma (stop-exposure group) and one rat had<br />
epididymal mesothelial cell hyperplasia<br />
(continuous-exposure group).<br />
