AROCLOR 1260 IN. ALBINO RATS NOVEMBER 12, 1971 IBT NO. B7298 L Introduction At the r e q u e s t of Monsanto Company, a tw o - y e a r chronic o r a l toxicity study was conducted using albino ra ts :o determ ine the potential toxicity of A r o c lo r 1260, Lot No. AK-3. The following re p o rt p r e s e n t s the results of this investigation.

Food consumption and body weight gains were not altered at any le v e l of A r o c l o r 1260 fed. The n u m b e r of a n i m a l s dying and the time at which the deaths occurred did not vary among the test and control groups.
Hematological and clinical blood chem istry studies conducted after
1260. Urine analyses failed to reveal any differences between test and control animals.
At s a c r i f i c e a f t e r 3, 6, or 12 m o n th s on t e s t o r g a n w e ig h ts , o r g a n to body weigh: and organ to b r a n weight ratios disclosed several randomly occurring intergroup differences. The lack of any consistent dose related re sponse and the absence of any deleterious histopathologic change confirm that these d ifferen c es w ere not related to the ingestion of A roclor 1260.
At the final sacrifice after 24 months on test, the liver weights and liv e r to body weight or b rain weight ratios w ere significantly elevated in the rare f r o m the T-UI group. Histologic e x a m i n a t i o n of the liv e rs from the T-UI group revealed several animals with vacuolar change. This le sio n is m o rpho lo g ically indicative of fatty deg en eratio n . Specific fat stains c o n f i n e d the p resen ce of fat in these vacuoles. Focal hypertrophy and focal h y p e rp la sia were also found in the liv e r s from animals fed Aroclo 1260.

The an im als employed in the test were C harles River strain-* albino r a t s . F o u r hundred ra ts (200 m a le s and 200 fe m ale s) were selected for the experim ent, ear-punched with the animal num ber aeeigned and housed individually in standard w ire-bottom ed steel rat cages. Each cage bore a color-coded card identifying the rat with r e spect to p ro ject num ber, dose level assignment, individual animal number and sex.

laboratory. The basic ration from which all diets were constructed was a standard, pulverized stock rat ration*. The diet for any given t e s t group was p r e p a r e d by blending the calculated amount of A ro c lo r 1260 with a p r e - w e i g h e d p o r ti o n of the stock r a t i o n Ln a H o b a r t m i x e r .
F resh diets were prepared each week and every rat was offered an am ount of food sufficient for ad libitum feeding.
Food consumption was recorded for five r a t s of each sex in every group weekly for the first three months and monthly for the next nine months. Thereafter, periodic spot checks were made.
D. Bodv Weights and Weight Cains In it ially, the. body weight of each r a t in e v e r y g ro u p was d e t e r
mined and recorded. Thereafter, individual weighings were made weekly f o r the f i r s t 13 w eek s and m ont hly t h e r e a f t e r u n ti l the co nclu si on of the i n v e s ti g a ti o n .___________________ __________________________ ________________

A ll d iets w ere prepared in the c e n tra l diet room of this
laboratory. The basic ration from which all diets were constructed
was a standard, pulverized stock ra t ratio n -. The diet for any given te st
group was p re p a red by blending the calculated amount of A roclor 1254
w ith a pre-w eighed portion of the stock ratio n in a H obart m ixer.
F re s h diets were prepared each week and every rat was offered
an am ount of food sufficient for ad libitum feeding.
Food consumption was recorded for five rats of each sex In ev ery
group weekly for the first three months and monthly for the next nine
months. T hereafter, periodic spot checks w ere made.

n o t e d . T a b l e XJLVII c o nt ai ns the r e s u l t s of the h i s t o p a t h o l o g i c e x a m i n a t i o r of the urinary bladders.
Significant liver injury was found in a n im als fed 100 ppm A roclor 1254 (T-IIfl. The compound associated lesions consisted of vacuolar change, focal hypertrophy and focal hyperplasia. Jn addition, there w ere lesions of inflammation, n ecrosis, fibrosis and m in o r d e generation, w ere more severe and frequent in the T-UI group..
The vacuolar change was not seen in the control anim als
b u t w a s o b s e r v e d o c c a s i o n a l l y in l i v e r s f r o m T - I (1 ppm) and T - I I (10 p p m )
anim als. It was frequent in the T-III animals. This lesion is morphologies
indicative of fatty degeneration. Form alin-frozen sections of livers fro m
representative animals which displayed vacuolar changes were stained with
Oil Red 0 to rev eal the presence of fat. The vacuolar lesion in the cytoplas
of these cells was positively idenified as fat.
I*- 4I
The hypertrophic changes found in the liver was focal and
often lim ited to the central lobular area where groups of cells were swollen i
to two o r th re e times their n o rm a l size with clear pink homogeneous c y to
plasm. The hyperplasia was associated with the same cells and appeared
AC* 00361C o o c 413

to be i n extension of the hyp ertro p h ic lesio n . The hyperplastic ceils
w e r e a ls o u sually h y p ertrophic. The m o s t s e v e r e exam ples of h y p e rp la s ia e
appeared as nodular growths with lim ited c o m p re ss io n of the surrounding normal hepatic tissue.
The minor lesions of degeneration, hepatitis, ductule cell proliferation, necrosis and focal lymphoid infiltration seen in the control a n im a ls and the T-I and T - II groups a r e lesions of spontaneous disease and a r e not related to the A ro c lo r 1254. This level of liver disease is not unusual in rats of this age.
Hyperplasia of the transitional epithelium was p re s e n t in the u r in a r y bladder of animals from the co n tro l group and each of the test groups. This lesion was usually associated with cystitis. The m o st . severe changes were associated with the p re se n c e of m ineralized calculi in the bladder lumen.
All of the other lesions in o th e r tissu es found in these animals are related to spontaneous disease and they are not unusual for old rats.

IBT NO. B7298 I. Introduction
At the req u est of Monsanto Company, a tw o-year chronic o'ral toxicity study was conducted using albino ra ts to determ ine the potential toxicity of A ro c lo r 1242, Lot No. AK-255. The following re p o rt p r e s e n ts the results of this investigation.

le v e l of A ro c lo r 1242 fed. The n u m b e r of a n im a ls dying and the tim e at which the deaths o ccu rred did not vary among th test and control g ro u ts.
H em atological and clinical blood chem istry studies conducted after 3 ( 6, 9 , 12, 18 o r 24 m o n th s did n o t r e v e a l any a ffe c ts re la te d to A ro c lo r 1242. U rine analyses failed to re v e a l any differences betw een test and control animals.
A t s a c r i f i c e a f t e r 3, 6 o r 12 m o n th s on t e s t , o r g a n w eights, o r g a n to body weight and organ to b rain weight ratio s disclosed several random ly o c cu rrin g intergroup d ifferences. The lack of any consistent dose re la te d resp o n se and the absence of any d eleterio u s histopathologic change confirm that these differences w ere not re la te d to the ingestion of A ro c lo r 1242.
At the final sac rifice after 24 months on te st, the liver weights and liv e r to body weight o r b rain weight ratios w ere significantly elevated in fe m a le s fro m the T-III group. H istologic exam ination of the liv e rs from the T-III roup revealed several anim als with vacuolar change. This lesion is m orphologically indicative of fatty degeneration. Specific fat stains confirm ed the presence of fat in these vacuoles. Focal h y p e rtro p h y and fo cal h y p e rp la s ia w e re a lso found in the liv e rs fro m a n im a ls fed A ro c lo r 1242.

The diet for any given L t e s t group w as p re p a re d by blending the calculated am ount of A roclor 1242 with a p re -w e ig h ed portion of the stock ra tio n in a Hobart m ix er.
F re s h diets w ere prepared each week and every rat was offered a n am ount of food sufficient for ad libitum feeding.
Food consum ption was recorded for five ra ts of each sex in every group w eekly for the f ir s t th ree months and m onthly for the next nine m onths. T hereafter, periodic spot checks w ere made.
D. Bodv Weights and Weight Cains i

All of the lesions noted in the m icroscopic examination
of tissu es w ere those of spontaneous disease and are not unusual for the
albino rat. The m ost frequent findings were lesions in the trachea and
lungs, indicating chronic murine pneumonia. These occurred in the control
as well as the r a ts fed A ro c lo r 1242.

The h y p e rp la sia was associated with the sam e cells and appeared to be an
extension of the hypertrophic lesion. The hyperplastic cells were also
usually hypertrophic. The m ost severe examples of hyperplasia appeared

All of the other lesions in the other tissues found in these

At a recent meeting in Creve Coeur, Glenn Schweitzer, head of the OfficToxic Substances of EPA, offered some interesting comments. He observe that Monsanto's toxicologists were held in high regard at EPA. Howeve since it lacked an in-house toxicology facility, Monsanto as a company not as highly regarded overall as duPont, Carbide, or Dow.
Dr. Wright's professional and personal characteristics have contribute nificantly to Monsanto's image at EPA. He has shown unusual persevera. and dedication, frequently involving his own time, to review and interp large volumes of data which he subsequently organized for presentation EPA officials. Particularly noteworthy weri his efforts on polvchlorin biphenyls (Aroclors) and chlorinated isocyanurates (ACL products). In former instance, his excellent analysis and synthesis of widely scatter observations played a prominent role in forestalling EPA's promulgation unrealistic regulations to limit discharges of polychlorinated biphenyl EPA's proposed regulations would have precluded the use of these materi by Monsanto's customers. With respect to chlorinated isocyanurates, Dr. Wright has had several contacts with individual scientists at EPA t answer specific questions that they had raised or to inform them of the status of additional studies which had been undertaken,.
Overall, by virtue of the qualities of leadership which Dr. Wright has played, he has made an important contribution to Monsanto's image at El That favorable image will become increasingly important to Monsanto as areas of interaction with EPA multiply.
