Developmental effects of boric acid in rats related to maternal blood boron concentrations.

Abstract:

:Timed-mated Sprague-Dawley rats (60/group) were exposed to boric acid (BA) from gestational days (gd) 0 to 20. BA added to the diet (0, 0.025, 0.050, 0.075, 0.1, or 0.2%) yielded boron (B) intakes of <0.35 (control), 3, 6, 10, 13, or 25 mg B/kg body wt/d. Approximately one-half of the dams/group were terminated on gd 20, maternal whole blood collected and frozen, and prenatal outcome (fetal growth, viability, and morphology) evaluated. Remaining dams received control diet beginning on gd 20, and litters were monitored throughout lactation. Blood samples were prepared by a high-temperature alkaline ashing method and analyzed for B by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) optical emission spectrometry. On gd 20, blood B concentrations of 1.27 +/- 0.298 and 1.53 +/- 0.546 microg B/g were associated with the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) and lowest-observed-adverse-effect level (LOAEL) (10 and 13 mg B/kg/d, respectively) for developmental toxicity. Developmental toxicity persisted postnatally only at 25 mg B/kg/d, a dose associated with >10-fold increase in maternal blood B (2.82 +/- 0.987 vs. 0.229 +/- 0.143 microg B/g for controls). Maternal blood B concentrations were: 1. Significantly elevated in all BA-exposed groups. 2. Positively correlated with maternal BA intake. 3. Inversely correlated with fetal body weight at doses above the NOAEL.
