Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
NOAEL was considered to be 100 mg/kg bw for male rat and 30 mg/kg bw for P female rats and 100 mg/kg bw for F1 generation when Crj:CD(SD) male and female rats were treated with 2-Butanone oxime/Ethyl methyl ketone oxime orally by gavage.
Executive summary:

In a Preliminary Reproductive Toxicity Screening Test, Crj:CD(SD) male and female rats were treated with 2-Butanone oxime/Ethyl methyl ketone oxime in the concentration of 0, 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg bw orally by gavage. No adverse effects on survival, general condition, and body weight or food consumption throughout the administration period were observed in P and F1 generation treated rats as compared to control. Similarly, No effect on reproductive performance of treated P male rats were observed as compared to control. But, significant decrease in delivery index of P female rats were observed at 100 mg/kg bw as compared to control. Significant increase in liver weights in males and heart weights in females were observed at 100 mg/kg bw as compared to control. Significant increase spleen weights of male and female rats were observed at 30 and 100 mg/kg bw as compared to control. In addition, Black and enlargement of spleen were observed in male and female rats at 30 and 100 mg/kg as compared to control. In histopathological examination, Congestion, deposition of pigment and extramedullary hematopoiesis in the spleen, deposition of glycogen, deposition of pigment in Kupffer cells and extramedullary hematopoiesis in the liver and deposition of brown pigment in the kidney were observed in male and female rats at 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg. No effects on clinical sign and body weight were observed in treated offspring. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 100 mg/kg bw for male rat and 30 mg/kg bw for P female rats and 100 mg/kg bw for F1 generation when Crj:CD(SD) male and female rats were treated with 2-Butanone oxime/Ethyl methyl ketone oxime orally by gavage.
