In a reproduction study, dam rats were allocated randomly to treatment with either 0, 3.125, 6.25, or 12.5 mg/kg of an investigational compound. Treatment was initiated 15 days prior to cohabitation with similarly treated males, and continued through Day 20 of gestation. Two male and two female pups from each litter were tested in a battery of developmental signs procedures including auditory startle response. In each litter, for each sex separately, the number of pups responding positively out of the number of pups tested was recorded as 2/2, 1/2, or 0/2. The data in Table 1 represent the observed frequencies for auditory startle response in females.
