Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- Effect level:
- > 0.08 other: mmole/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Sex:
- male
Observed effects
- Morphology: no alteration of the rat testis.
- Histology: no alteration of the rat testis.
- Organ weight: slight reduction in testis weight.
- Spermatozoa: no effect on spermatozoa in the ductus deferens of the rats.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- No morphological or histological effects of testes were seen in either application route nor was there any effect on residual spermatozoa in the ductus deferens.
- Executive summary:
In a study by Kamboj and Kar (1964), male rats were injected subcutaneously and intratesticularly with doses of 0.08 mmole/kg sodium silicate. When the testes were examined 7 d after injection, Testicular weight was slightly reduced as compared to controls injected with sterile water.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
