Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Description (incidence):
- The doses up to 1500 mg/kg bw/day were tolerated by all animals without lethality.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The body weight gain and total increase of body weights did not differ from the control group.
- Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- not specified
- Food efficiency:
- not specified
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not specified
- Ophthalmological findings:
- not examined
- Haematological findings:
- no effects observed
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The biochemical parameters calcium, blood sugar, urea, creatinine, cholesterine, GGT, GOT, GPT and LDH did not show any critical signs. Only slight shifts which were not dose-dependent could be observed. These signs were considered as not substance depending.
- Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Absolute and relative organ weights showed no significant changes in the substance groups compared to the control group, except the organ weight of the liver which is slightly increased for the males of group 4 (750/1500 mg/kg bw) and increased adrenal glands weight in high dose females. This result is considered of no relevance.
- Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The pathological and histological evaluation did not show significant compound related gross or microscocopic organ injury of liver, kidneys, adrenals, heart, lung, spleen and gonads; dose dependent reversible local findings were restricted to the fore stomach mucosa (important hyperplasia and ulcerations, in some cases also hyper- and parakeratosis of the forestomach of males and females at the high dose. Similar effects but less intense at the medium and low doses).
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The pathological and histological evaluation did not show significant compound related gross or microscocopic organ injury of liver, kidneys, adrenals, heart, lung, spleen and gonads; dose dependent reversible local findings were restricted to the fore stomach mucosa (important hyperplasia and ulcerations, in some cases also hyper- and parakeratosis of the forestomach of males and females at the high dose. Similar effects but less intense at the medium and low doses).
- Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- no effects observed
Effect levels
- Key result
- Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- Effect level:
- > 750 mg/kg bw/day (nominal)
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Sex:
- male/female
- Basis for effect level:
- other: No biologically relevant treatment-related effects observed on any of the parameters recorded at any dose, also test animals treated with 1500 mg/kg bw (Days 15-28) showed no adverse effect
Target system / organ toxicity
- Key result
- Critical effects observed:
- no
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the study conditions, the 28 d NOAEL to rats was considered to be >750 mg/kg bw/day.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to evaluate the repeated dose oral toxicity of the test substance, C12-18 and C18-unsatd. DEA, according to design based on OECD guideline 407. Groups of 10 male and 10 female Wistar rats were orally gavaged with the substance diluted in olive oil, 5 d/week for 28 d at doses of 0, 70, 250, 750 (Days 1-14) and 1500 (Days 15-28) mg/kg bw/d. Clinical signs, bodyweight, haematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis, gross and microscopic pathology were recorded. Additional groups of 5 male and 5 female rats were kept for a 4 month recovery period. No treatment-related adverse effects were observed at any of the doses. Changes in the forestomach at some doses including controls were attributed to the use of olive oil and found to be reversible after end of exposure. Under the study conditions, the 28 d NOAEL to rats was considered to be >750 mg/kg bw/day (Potokar, 1983).
