other: Mice fed with a folic acid supplemented diet showed a slightly higher LD50 (4700 mg/kg) than mice fed a diet without folic acid supplements (LD50 3700 mg/kg)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
Mice fed with a folic acid supplemented diet showed a slightly higher LD50 (4700 mg/kg) than mice fed a diet without folic acid supplements (LD50 3700 mg/kg).
Executive summary:

In a non-standard study, mice fed with a folic acid supplemented diet showed a slightly higher LD50 (4700 mg/kg bw) than mice fed a diet without folic acid supplements (LD50 3700 mg/kg bw).
