Any other information on results incl. tables

RS-Freetext:
Absolute and relative epididymal, prostate, testes, ovary
and uterus weights were indistinguishable between control
and treated rats.

No treatment-related microscopic changes were present in
either sex.

An assessment of epididymal sperm parameters demonstrated no
alteration in weight of cauda epididymis, the number of
sperm per cauda (both total and per g wet wt tissue) or the
percentage of normal sperm.

Testicular spermatid parameters showed no alteration in
testis weight or spermatid numbers (both total and per g
testis).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
CL-Freetext:
Dermal administration of vacuum tower overheads at 500 mg/kg
bwt/d, 5 d/wk, for 13 weeks was without effect on
reproductive organ weights and histology in male and female
rats, or on sperm/spermatid parameters in males.
