Details on results:
MORTALITY
- All experimental animals survived to the scheduled sacrifice

BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
- The control group exhibited a greater body weight gain than did the test group. However, this difference was not statistically significant.

FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE
- No anorexia (as evidenced by reduced weight gain) was observed in any group

ORGAN WEIGHTS
- Group mean Liver weight of test group was low when compared to the control group. However, this difference was not statistically significant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Administration of test substance to male wistar rats at dose level of 1% in diet (equivalent to 900 mg/kg bw/day) for 3 weeks, did not produce any adverse effects attributable to treatment with test substance. Under the conditions of this study, NOAEL was determined to be 900 mg/kg bw/day.
Executive summary:

Male wistar rats were treated with test substance at dose level of 1% in diet (equivalent to 900 mg/kg bw/day) for 3 weeks and observed for limited parameters including mortality, body weight, food consumption and liver weight. Group of animals that received basal untreated diet, served as control.No treatment related adverse effects were observed. Under conditions of this study, NOAEL was determined to be 900 mg/kg bw/day.
