Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- NOAEL was considered to be 100 mg/kg/day when Kunming female mice were treated with Diphenyl sulfides (DSP).
- Executive summary:
In a Subacute oral toxicity study,Kunmingfemale mice were treated withDiphenyl sulfides (DSP) in the concentreation of 0, 1, 10 and 100 mg/kg/day orally by gavage.Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was significantly decreased andHepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) level in liver wassignificantly increased in 1, 10 and 100 mg/kg/day treated mice as compared to control. No significant effects were observed at the mortality, morbidity, clinical science, Food consumption, Hematology, gross and histopathology. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be100 mg/kg/day whenKunmingfemale mice were treated withDiphenyl sulfides (DSP) orally for 28 days.
