Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- NOAEL was considered to be 125 mg/kg bw for male rats and LOAEL was considered to be 250 mg/kg body weight/day for female when Sprague Dawley male and female rats were exposed daily to the test chemical by oral route for 28 days.
- Executive summary:
In a 28 days repeated dose toxicity study, the effect of the test chemical was evaluated in male and female Sprague Dawley rats. The test chemical was administered by oral gavage in the concentration of 0, 125, 250 or 500 mg/kg body weight/day. The results showed that the test chemical significantly increased the level of testosterone in the 500 mg/kg body weight/day group as well as it significantly increased the level of estrogen in the 250 mg/kg body weight/day group .The relative and absolute organ weight of ovaries decreased when treated with 125, 250 or 500 mg/kg body weight/day. In similarity, the relative and absolute organ weight of uterus decreased in the 125 or 500 mg/kg body weight/day groups.No significant changes in were detected in hematology,clinical biochemistry,mortality ororgan weight, and no effects were observed in water consumption,opthalmoscopic examination or locomotor activity. In male rats, the relative organ weights of the testes and epididymides increased when rats were treated with 500 mg/kg body weight/day. Histopathology performed on reproductive organs after treatment with 500 mg/kg body weight/day did not reveal any toxic lesions as compared to control. Hence, NOAEL was considered to be 250 mg/kg bw for male rats and LOAEL was considered to be 125 mg/kg body weight/day for female when Sprague Dawley male and female rats were exposed daily to the test chemical by oral route for 28 days.
