Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance did not induce changes in spermhead morphology.
Executive summary:

Groups of 5 male mice were dosed with the test substance or the negative or positive control substance for five days. Five weeks later, the animals were sacrificed and sperm from the cauda epididymis were smeared onto slides. Slides were coded and sperm-head morphology was evaluated. The test substance did not induce changes in spermhead morphology.
