Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
NOAEL was considered to be 500 mg/kg-day for p genearrtion and 250 mg/kg-day for F1 generation when Sprague-Dawley female rat were treated with 1,1-diethoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene orally by gavage for approx 46 days.
Executive summary:

In Combined reproductive/developmental toxicity screening test, Sprague-Dawley female rat were treated with 1,1-diethoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene in the concentration of 0, 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg-day orally by gavage in Corn oil or methylcellulose. Clinical signs and lower body weights and body weight gains were observed at 250 and 500 mg/kg-day as controls. In addition, no reproductive toxicity was observed in treated female rats at 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg-day. But, developmental toxicity was observed as decrease in pups body weight at 500 mg/kg-day. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 500 mg/kg-day for p genearrtion and 250 mg/kg-day for F1 generation when Sprague-Dawley female rat were treated with 1,1-diethoxy-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene orally by gavage for approx 46 days.
