Details on results:
BODY WEIGHT
Mean body weights of male rats fed 10,000 ppm and of females fed 10,000 and 3000 ppm test substance were significantly lower than control throughout the 13 week feeding study.

FOOD CONSUMPTION
Significantly reduced food intake and increased spillage of the 10,000 ppm diet were observed in both sexes; females fed 3000 ppm diet also had lower food intakes than control but the decrease was significant for only five of the 13 weeks.

HAEMATOLOGY
Haematological alterations observed in 3000 ppm males and in both sexes fed 10,000 ppm test substance were significant increases in total leukocytes and in absolute lymphocyte values. Females fed 10,000 ppm also showed significant depression in numbers of neutrophils (absolute and percent), mean cell volume and mean cell haemoglobin. Males in the upper two treatment groups showed shortened prothrombin times.

CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
Elevated clinical chemical values were, with the exception of plasma urea concentrations, confined to rats in the 10,000 ppm treatment group. Males in this group had significantly higher urea, calcium and potassium values, while females had significantly higher urea, chloride, calcium and cholesterol values. Urea concentrations of females in the 1000 and 3000 ppm groups were also higher than control.

ORGAN WEIGHTS
After correction for reduced terminal body weight, there were increases in mean liver weight in the 3000 and 10,000 ppm groups (both sexes) and in 1000 ppm females. Males fed 10,000 ppm test substance had significantly increased spleen weights and females in the 1000 ppm group had significantly heavier kidneys compared to controls.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No effects on the general health and behaviour of treated rats were evident. Significant treatment-related effects on body weight, food intake, organ weights, clinical chemistry and haematology were identified in one or both sexes at daily doses of 150 and 500 mg/kg bw/d.
Due to the fact that no compound-related gross or histopathological lesions were identified at any dose level, the changes reported are considered minor and not of toxicological significance. Hence, the NOAEL for systemic toxicity was set to greater than 500 mg/kg bw/d.
