Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
From this limited study a NOAEL of 200 mg/kg bw can be derived.
Executive summary:

In this older and limited study, 3 m / 3 f NZW rabbits were dosed with 200 mg/kg bw sodium perborate tetrahydrate once daily over 20 days.

One animal from each group died (cause of death was not determined). The only notable gross observation at necropsy was indication of parasites in individual animals and gastritis and enteritis. The skin was near normal (in some cases signs of mild irritation) and there were no adverse microscopic findings in different organs.

From this limited study a NOAEL of 200 mg/kg bw can be derived.
