This may assist with diagnosis of mode of action). Note that this assay may, in some cases, have low statistical power or sensitivity to detect anti-androgenic activity through effects on secondary sexual characteristics. However, if gonad histopathology has been optionally studied, changes in Leydig cells resulting from anti-androgen exposure may have been observed. Finally, diagnostic endpoints (i.e. indicators of hormonal activity) and the apical endpoint (i.e. fecundity) should be considered together to obtain maximum value from this assay.","PeriodicalId":19458,"journal":{"name":"OECD Series on Testing and Assessment","volume":"365 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80341442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modality detected/endpoints: This medium-term in vivo assay with the dipteran insect Chironomus spp. is responsive to juvenile hormone (JH) (ant)agonists and ecdysteroid (Ec) (ant)agonists which can interfere with such processes as metamorphosis, moulting and growth (e.g. Hahn, Liess and Schulz [2001]; Taenzler et al. [2007]; Jungmann et al. [2009]; Tassou and Schulz [2009, 2013]). It exposes the test organisms over a single generation. It is important to note, however, that none of the endpoints in this apical test are specifically responsive to JHor Ec-active chemicals, and the assay will give positive results with many other substances. The lack of internationally validated mechanistic assays for endocrine activity in insects may prevent firm conclusions about whether test chemicals are endocrine disrupters (EDs) in this taxon, although in vitro assays for JH and estrogen (E) activity are available in the literature. However, the data from the test may nevertheless be of value for classification and hazard identification/characterisation.","PeriodicalId":19458,"journal":{"name":"OECD Series on Testing and Assessment","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84683083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This assay determines the subchronic inhalation toxicity of chemicals to provide data for quantitative inhalational hazard identification/characterisation. It is primarily used to derive regulatory concentrations for assessing worker risk in occupational settings. It may also be used to assess human residential, transportation and environmental risk. Dosing duration is 28 days and the preferred species is the rat. Animals are exposed to test substance in inhalation chambers for six hours per day on a five day per week basis. The preferred mode of exposure is nose only, but whole body exposure may also be used. OECD TG 412 was first adopted in 1981, revised in 2009 and 2017. Although it has not been validated for the detection of endocrine active substances (EASs), this assay contains several endpoints that are suitable for the determination of endocrine effects. As all the endpoints are apical, it is difficult to discern mechanism of action from this test alone. Information on mechanism of action may need to be obtained from in vitro estrogen/androgen/thyroid/steroidogenesis (E,A,T,S) assays or in vivo lower tier tests such as the Uterotrophic Bioassay (UT – OECD TG 440) and the Hershberger Bioassay (H – OECD TG 441).
