Serial blood sampling for toxicokinetics is generally conducted in regulatory embryo-fetal development (EFD) studies in rats. EFD studies are designed to detect the potential adverse effects of pharmaceuticals on pregnant females and their fetuses; this information is useful for understanding the relationships between systemic exposure levels and toxicity profiles. However, additional satellite pregnant females are needed for toxicokinetics because comprehensive information regarding the potential impact of serial blood sampling on pregnant females is scarce. Here, in this study, we investigated the potential impact of serial blood sampling in pregnant female rats using a typical EFD study design. Additionally, we investigated the additional endpoints (clinical pathology, organ weights, and histopathology) that were deemed likely to be sensitive to blood sampling. Results indicated that serial blood sampling in pregnant females induced physiological adaptive changes and did not affect the general endpoints in EFD studies. Nevertheless, inclusion of satellite groups in EFD studies may be a more prudent approach considering the physiological changes in pregnant females and potential off-target effects of candidate pharmaceuticals. These results provide background information on the impact of serial blood sampling in pregnant females and will be useful to design the regulatory EFD studies.
