Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The NOAEL value was considered to be 250 mg/kg bw per day and LOAEL value was considered to be 500 mg/kg bw per day in female Sprague-Dawley rat when exposed to Ethanol, 2-(hydroxymethylamino).
- Executive summary:
In a reproductive study, the effect of test substanceEthanol, 2-(hydroxymethylamino)in femaleSprague-Dawleyrat were evaluated. The test substance was administered by oral-gavage in the concentration0, 100, 250 and 500 mg/kg/day.Maternal toxicity was observed at 500 mg/kg/day indicated by gastro-intestinal abnormalities, reduced body weight gain and reduced food consumption during the treatment period. There was a moderately increased incidence of advanced ossification, coupled with a decrease in the incidence of patchy ossification in the fetuses at 500 mg/kg/day. Therefore,The NOAEL value was considered to be 250 mg/kg bw per day and LOAEL value was considered to be 500 mg/kg bw per day in femaleSprague-Dawleyrat when exposed toEthanol, 2-(hydroxymethylamino).
