Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the sub-chronic NOAEL of the substance in rats was determined to be 1200 mg/kg bw/day
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the oral repeated dose toxicity of the substance according to a method similar to OECD Guideline 408. The study was conducted in male albino rats. The animals received the test substance by oral gavage at 0 or 1200 mg/kg bw/day for a period of 112 d. No mortality or clinical signs were observed during treatment. The body weight development did not statistically differ between the treated and the control groups. The following clinical chemical and hematological parameters were recorded: hemoglobin, total serum protein, total liver protein, ascorbic acid in adrenals, testes and liver tissue. None of the values were statistically significant between control and dose groups or were within historical values. After necropsy, the relative organ weights of liver, kidneys, testes, adrenals and spleen were measured and did not reveal any difference between groups. Under the study conditions, the sub-chronic NOAEL of the substance in rats was determined to be 1200 mg/kg bw/day (Zaitsev, 1984).
