Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - Mean body weight change values were significantly lower in male animals of test group 3 (12000 ppm) from study day 0 to 14 with the deviation of -13% and not statistically significantly decreased between study days 0 and 28 (-14.7%). For these minor alterations of the body weight change without a correlating significant finding in the body weight itself it could not be excluded to be treatment-related. However, these minor alterations of body weight change were assessed as non-adverse.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- no effects observed
- Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- no effects observed
- Ophthalmological findings:
- not examined
- Haematological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - At the end of the administration period, in females of test group 3 (12000 ppm), hemoglobin and hematocrit values were significantly decreased. The values were marginally below historical control ranges (females, hemoglobin 8.1-9.1 mmol/L, hematocrit 0.377-0.412 L/L)
- In males of test group 2 (4000 ppm) hemoglobin values were significantly decreased and large unstained cell (LUC) counts were significantly increased. However, both parameters were not dose-dependently changed. Therefore, these alterations were regarded as incidental and not treatment-related. - Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - At the end of the administration period in females of test group 3 (12000 ppm) total bile acid levels were significantly increased (regarded as due to the high amount of fatty acids in the compound which increases the turn-around of bile acids for absorption of these components). This is the only relevantly changed parameter among females of test group 3. Therefore, the increased total bile acid levels were regarded as treatment-related, but non-adverse.
- In males of test group 3 total bile acid levels were contrarily lower (not statistically significantly) compared to controls.
- In females of test groups 1, 2 and 3 (1000, 4000 and 12000 ppm), cholesterol levels were significantly higher compared to controls. However, all means were within the historical control ranges (females, cholesterol 1.05-1.65 mmol/L). Therefore, this alteration was regarded as incidental and not treatment-related. - Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Deviations from "zero values" were obtained in several rats. However, as most findings were equally distributed between test-substance treated groups and controls, without a dose-response relationship or occurred in single animals only, these observations were considered as incidental.
Regarding the overall motor activity, in interval 10 of males in test group 1, 2, and 3 (1000, 4000, and 12000 ppm) a significantly lower number of beam interruptions were determined without a dose dependency. Overall, the shape of the habitation curves was comparable in all dose groups to the current control. Therefore, the finding in interval 10 of males in test groups 1-3 were considered as treatment-related but not adverse. - Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - significantly decreased kidney weights (94%) in male animals of test group 1 and significantly increased heart weights in female animals of test groups 1 (108%) and 2 (110%) (regarded as incidental, since there was no dose-response relationship and only the relative weight parameters were affected)
- Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Neuropathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- - 2 male animals of test group 3 (12000 ppm) showed a minimal centrilobular hepatocellular hypertrophy (regarded as treatment-related but not adverse, since the hypertrophy was only minimal and there were no corresponding liver weight changes nor deviating clinical chemistry parameters observed)
- In contrast to male animals of test groups 0 to 2, animals of test group 3 did not show a periportal fat storage (regarded as related to the slightly decreased terminal body weight in test group 3 males; therefore regarded as treatment-related but not adverse)
- Male animals of test groups 2 and 3 showed a minimally increased severity of inflammatory cell infiltrates composed of polymorph nuclear leukocytes and lymphocytes that were distributed throughout the submucosal layer of the glandular stomach (regarded as treatment-related but not adverse, since there were no additional degenerating changes in the mucosal or submucosal layer observed) - Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Other effects:
- no effects observed

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present study the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for this test substance was 4000 ppm in female (346 mg/kg bw/d) and 12000 ppm in male (1057 mg/kg bw/d) Wistar rats.
- Executive summary:
The test substance was administered via the diet to groups of 5 male and 5 female Wistar rats at concentrations of 0 ppm (test group 0), 1000 ppm (test group 1), 4000 ppm (test group 2) and 12000 ppm (test group 3) in the diet over a period of 4 weeks.
Food consumption and body weight were determined weekly. The animals were examined for signs of toxicity or mortality at least once a day. Detailed clinical examinations in an open field were conducted prior to the start of the administration period and weekly thereafter. Beside this, a functional observational battery (FOB) as well as measurement of motor activity (MA) was carried out at the end of the administration period. Clinicochemical and hematological examinations were performed towards the end of the administration period. After the administration period all rats were sacrificed and assessed by gross pathology, followed by histopathological examinations.
The following test substance-related, relevant findings were noted:
Test group 3: 12000 ppm (1057 mg/kg bw/d in males and 1083 mg/kg bw/d in females)
Clinical Examinations:
• No test substance-related, adverse effects
Clinical Pathology:
• Decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit values in females
Pathology:
• No test substance-related, adverse effects
Test group 2: 4000 ppm (338 mg/kg bw/d in males and 346 mg/kg bw/d in females)
Clinical Examinations, Clinical Pathology, and Pathology:
• No test substance-related, adverse effects
Test group 1: 1000 ppm (86 mg/kg bw/d in males and 90 mg/kg bw/d in females)
Clinical Examinations, Clinical Pathology, and Pathology:
• No test substance-related, adverse effects
The administration of the test substance via the diet to male and female Wistar rats for 4 weeks caused treatment-related signs of systemic toxicity at the concentrations of 12000 ppm in the diet of female Wistar rats (1083 mg/kg bw/d) manifested in an anemia, but not in males.
Therefore, under the conditions of the present study the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for this test substance was 4000 ppm (346 mg/kg bw/d) in female and 12000 ppm (1057 mg/kg bw/d) in male Wistar rats.
