Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No adverse effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be 5.1 mg/kg for males and 5.7 mg/kg for females when FDRL male and female rats were treated with Beta-Naphthyl ethyl ether orally in feed for 90 days.
Executive summary:

In a Subchronic Toxicity Test,  FDRL male and female rats were treated with Beta-Naphthyl ethyl ether in the concentration of 5.1 mg/kg for males and 5.7 mg/kg for females orally by feed for 90 days. No adverse effects on body weight and food consumption or food efficiency throughout the administration period were observed in treated rats as compared to control. Similarly, No effect on Hematological parameters and organ weight of treated male and female rats were observed as compared to control. In addition, No gross pathological and histopathological changes were observed in treated male and female rats in liver, kidneys, stomach, small and large intestines, spleen, pancreas, heart, lungs, bone marrow, muscle, brain, spinal cord, bladder, adrenals, thyroid, pituitary, gonads, salivary glands, and lymph nodes as compared to control. Therefore, No adverse effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be 5.1 mg/kg for males and 5.7 mg/kg for females when FDRL male and female rats were treated with Beta-Naphthyl ethyl ether orally in feed for 90 days.
