Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To investigate embryo toxicity and teratogenicity of a silicone adsorbent for cold turbidity of beer on rats. METHODS:SD rats during pregnancy were given intragastric administration of silicon-based sorbent at 0.83,1.67 and 3.33 g/kg,respectively. After continuous administration of 10 d,growth of pregnant rats, embryonic development,fetal appearance,visceral deformities,and skeletal deformities were monitored. RESULTS:There was no significant difference in the observation indexes between pregnant rats and fetal rats in each dose group and the negative control group (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSION:The silicon sorbent did not show reproductive toxicity nor teratogenic effects in SD rats.
