Additional information

Dioctyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate (DSS) was administered to rats for 10 and 2 weeks in a three-generation study.

All F0, F1 and F2 animals were observed twice daily during the study and subjected to gross necropsy upon study termination. Organs grossly examined at necropsy were colon, duodenum, epididymides, ileum, jejunum, kidneys, liver, mammary gland (with skin), ovaries, prostate, seminal vesicles, stomach, testes, uterus and vagina.

There was no consistent effect of any dose on food consumption in females and but weight loss was observed during the treatment.

Reproductive indices: no effect of treatment on the total number of pups or litters, litter size or sex ratio.

Perinatal pup survival across the three generations ranged from 96% to 100% for the treated groups.

The pup survivability ranged from 98-100% for low and mid dose groups and from 91-99% for the high dose group (no effect of treatment).

No treatment related mortality and antemortem or microscopic observations in any animals examined (F0, F1 and F2 adults and F3 weanlings).

The NOAEL for effect on lactation and pup weight on Day 21 were defined at 0.1 % of DSS on diet.

DSS at 0.5 and 1.0% affected lactation. Reduced body weights in animals receiving 0.5 or 1.0% did not interfere with growth and development or normal reproductive performance.

Justification for selection of Effect on fertility via oral route:

This  three-generation study gives significant information on the  Sulfosuccinic part of the registering substance (represented in the study by Dioctyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate). Reproductive indices  and observation on lactation are reported.
