Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Females in any group fed the CE-2 diet showed neither abnormal condition after parturition nor any severe lesions in the kidney. These data show that the combination of corn oil and diet with a particular constitution may cause adverse effects on the renal tubules in pregnant and/or lactating rats, suggesting that corn oil gavage as a vehicle can be a confounding factor in the reproductive toxicity studies, depending on the diet.
