Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
A repeated dose toxicity of titanium tetrabutanolate was determined administering ten oral doses to rats during two-weeks period. Repeated sublethal doses of 1500mg/kg caused a slight loss of weight after the first treatment but a normal gain thereafter. Therefore, the NOAEL of 1500 mg/kg bw/day is considered.
Executive summary:

This study was regarded not assignable since the study report does not give sufficient experimental details.

The result of this study is used as a weight of evidence in hazard assessment.
