K.1.1. Benchmark Dose Estimations
Benchmark doses (BMD) and the lower (BMDL) 95% confidence limits were calculated using Environmental Protection Agency Benchmark Dose Software (version 2.1.1; https://www.epa.gov/ncea/bmds). The calculations were conducted using gamma, logistic, log-logistic, log-probit, multistage, probit, and Weibull models to fit the neoplastic incidences and the mean doses of glycidamide for the entire 2-year study. The BMD was defined as the dose that caused a 10% excess risk of the specified adverse effect over that observed in the appropriate control group. Models were rejected if 1) p < 0.05 for the fitted model versus the full model; 2) p < 0.05 for the goodness of fit; or 3) The scaled residual for one or more of the doses in goodness of fit determination was >|2.00|.76 In some instances the BMD calculations failed. If a model was rejected, the results are not reported.
K.2. Results
Benchmark dose modeling was conducted to estimate the doses of glycidamide that would give a 10% excess risk for specific neoplasms (BMD). In F344/N Nctr rats, the most sensitive site for tumor induction was the mammary gland in females (BMD of 2.39 µmol glycidamide per kg body weight per day for fibroadenoma) and the thyroid gland in males (BMD of 18.89–22.62 µmol glycidamide per kg body weight per day for combined follicular cell adenoma or carcinoma) (Table K-1). In B6C3F1/Nctr mice, the most sensitive site for tumor induction by glycidamide was the Harderian gland, with a BMD for Harderian gland adenoma of 5.24–5.91 µmol glycidamide per kg body weight per day in males and 4.55 µmol glycidamide per kg body weight per day in females (Table K-2).
A comparison of the glycidamide data with those previously reported for acrylamide74 indicates that both chemicals have similar potencies in the target tissues (Table K-3 and Table K-4). For example, in female F344/N Nctr rats, the BMD for mammary gland fibroadenoma was 2.39 μMol per kg body weight per day for glycidamide and 7.74 μMol per kg body weight per day for acrylamide, and in male F344/N Nctr rats, the BMD for follicular cell adenoma or carcinoma of the thyroid gland was 19.33–22.62 μMol per kg body weight per day for glycidamide and 19.41–28.19 μMol per kg body weight per day for acrylamide (Table K-3). The BMD for Harderian gland adenoma in male B6C3F1/Nctr mice was 5.51–5.91 μMol per kg body weight per day for glycidamide as compared to 5.14–5.39 μMol per kg body weight per day for acrylamide (Table K-4). Likewise, in female B6C3F1/Nctr mice the BMD for Harderian gland adenoma was 4.55 μMol per kg body weight per day for glycidamide as compared to 6.55 μMol per kg body weight per day for acrylamide.
