Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test item was exposed to three cell culture systems such as isolated Leydig cells, Sertoli cells and Sertoli-germ cell co-cultures. The cell culture systems used are known to be responsive to some positive control compounds and the effects obtained used as reference values for the assessment of the test item. Cell parameters like protein content, lactate and pyruvate production, hormonally stimulated testosterone production and morphology depending on the cell culture type were analysed. Under the test conditions, the test item enhanced the lactate production (Sertoli cells) significantly in a dose-dependent manner and inhibited testosterone output (Leydig cells) but only in the presence of hormone at 5 hours. The no observed-effect level (NOEL) for this effect was established to be less than 1 mM. The test item thus showed only a small effect on the function of Leydig cells and no effect on Sertoli cells.
