Key value for chemical safety assessment

Effects on fertility

Description of key information
 Intraperitoneal administration of crotonaldehyde to male mice resulted in decreased fertiliy indices and changes in sperm head morphology. 
Effect on fertility: via oral route
Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
10 mg/kg bw/day
Additional information

one generation study in male and female F344 rats resulted in no effects to fertility or offspring at the highest dose tested (10 mg/kg bw oral gavage). No LOAEL was identified. No effects on parental or offspring. no fertility or histopathological effects.


Short description of key information:
one generation study in male and female F344 rats resulted in no effects to fertility or offspring at the highest dose tested (10 mg/kg bw oral gavage)

Effects on developmental toxicity

Description of key information
no data

Toxicity to reproduction: other studies

Additional information

Upon non-physiologically relevant administration (IP) effects on fertility were demonstrated when male mice were administered 8, 16 or 32 ul/kg bw crotonaldhyde for 5 consecutive days then mated with females. One time IP adminsitration resulted in sperm head abnormalities at 16 adn 32 ul/kg bw at 3 weeks and at 32 ul/kg bw at 5 weeks. In conclusion, no reproductive effects based on physiologically relevant routes of administration.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to criteria in regulation No 1272/2008, classification is not warrented.
