Overall reproductive toxicity

Reproductive effects observed:
not specified

Any other information on results incl. tables

Due to the decreased body weight the mean relative organ weights of testes were significantly higher in males of the high dose group; however, no significant effects were seen with the mean absolute testes weights (no toxicological relevance, no changes in histopathology). No effect on other organ weights mentioned under test condition.
Pathology/histopathology: no changes related to the test
 substance in any organ mentioned under test condition.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In the subchronic gavage study in rats no effects on reproductive organs were found at dose levels up to 5000 mg/kg bw/day.
Executive summary:

Comparable to OECD guideline 408.

Details of this study are presented in Section 7.5.1.

In the subchronic gavage study in rats no effects on reproductive organs were found at dose levels up to 5000 mg/kg bw/day.
