| Popis: | Adult male and female CD rats (F0) were dosed with glutaraldehyde (GA; CAS number 111-30-8) in drinking water at concentrations of 0 (controls), 50, 250, or 1000 ppm for a 10-wk prebreed period and through mating, gestation, and lactation. Resultant F1 offspring, selected to be parents of the next generation, were continued on the same regime from prebreed through lactation. Twenty-eight parental animals per sex per generation for each dose group were evaluated for clinical signs, body weight (absolute and gain), and water and food consumption. The offspring were evaluated for survival and body weight to weaning. Necropsy and light microscopic examination of removed tissues were conducted in all F0 and F1 parents and in 10 offspring/sex/group/generation. Average daily consumptions of GA (as mean +/- SD) for the low, intermediate, and high concentrations were respectively 4.25 +/- 0.87, 17.50 +/- 4.16, and 69.07 +/- 14.58 mg/kg/d for F0 parental males, and 6.68 +/- 0.78, 28.28 +/- 4.09, and 98.37 +/- 11.71 mg/kg/d for F0 parental females. The corresponding values for the F1 parents were 4.53 +/- 1.02, 21.95 +/- 4.88, and 71.08 +/- 16.21 mg/kg/d for males and 6.72 +/- 0.84, 29.57 +/- 5.41, and 99.56 +/- 16.72 mg/kg/d for females. There were no effects on parental fertility and mating performance or on pup viability and litter size in any generation. No apparent treatment-related histopathology was seen in parents or offspring. Parental body weights and body weight gains were significantly reduced at 1000 ppm at a few isolated time periods, particularly during prebreed. Food consumption was significantly reduced at 1000 ppm for F0 and F1 parents during the prebreed and gestation periods, and at 250 ppm for F0 males during prebreed and gestation and F1 females during gestation and lactation. Water consumption by the F0 and F1 parents of the 250 at 1000 ppm groups was reduced throughout the prebreed period. At 1000 ppm, average litter weights were reduced over lactation d 21-28 for the F1 and F2 offspring. The no-observed-effect level (NOEL) for adult toxicity was 50 ppm and for offspring 250 ppm. There were no indications of reproductive toxicity, and the NOEL for this study was therefore > 1000 ppm. |
