3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1 Harmful effects such as structural abnormalities, growth changes, functional defects, or death
The development of an organism that occurs before an individual is exposed to the test substance before development into an adult (including the embryonic, fetal, and postnatal stages)
3.2 Teratogenicity
The property of the test substance to cause permanent structural abnormalities in the offspring during the critical period of gestation, particularly during organogenesis.
3.3 Maternal toxicity
The test substance causes direct or indirect health damage to the parental pregnant animals, resulting in reduced weight gain, functional abnormalities, signs of poisoning, and even death. The toxicity of death.
3.4 Fertility rate parturition index
The number of animals that gave birth alive is the percentage of the number of pregnant animals.
3.5 fetal mortality
The percentage of stillbirths to the total number of litters.
3.6 Total number of teratocysts sumofterata
The number of all liveborn babies with malformations.
