Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
no liver toxicity observed
Executive summary:

Rats were treated orally via gavage with estradiol over 5 days and subsequent 7 days recovery before sacrifice.

Decreased water consumption (male) and body weight gain (both sexes) could be observed. Liver toxicity of estradiol could not be identified.
