Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
There was no indication of developmental toxicity at a limit dose level of 1000 mg/kg bw/d of disodium sebacate (4.1 mmol/kg bw/day) in rabbits.
Executive summary:

In a limit dose study, a group of 10 female New Zealand rabbits were mated and received a diet corresponding to a dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/day of disodium sebacate (4.1 mmol/kg bw/day) until sacrifice of day 25 of pregnancy. A control group received plain diet. No abortions, still born animals or malformations were observed upon treatment.
