RS-Freetext:
The NOAELs for repeat dose toxicity are considered to be 20
mg/kg/day for both sexes. 
- Male:
  At 100 mg/kg/day, no death was occured.
  - By the observation, transient suppression of body weight gain and  decrease in food consumption were observed.
  - By the necroscopy findings, thickening of the wall of
the forestomach and enlargement of the pancreatico-duodenal
lymph nodes were observed. 
  - By the histopathological examination:
   Ulceration, inflammatory cell infiltration and
hyperplasia of the mucosa in the forestomach, and hyperplasia of plasma  cells in the pancreatioco-duodenal lymph nodes were revealed. 
  - By the hematological and blood chemical examination:
   A increase in reticulocyte, platelet and segmented
neutrophil counts, a decrease in differential lymphocytes counts and  albumin were revealed.
  At 20 mg/kg/day, similar histopathological changes were
observed in the forestomach. 
  At 4 mg/kg/day, no effects were observed.
Remark:
Thus the NOEL for males was considered as 4 mg/kg/day. 
However, Histopathological changes In forestomach were based on  stimulative of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl acrylate.  Then the NOAEL for males  was considered as 20 mg/kg/day.

- Female:
  At 100 mg/kg/day, 2 females out of 12 died.
  - By the observation, a decrease in the absolute thymus
weight was observed.
  - By the necroscopy examination, similar changes as males
were observed.
  - By the histopathological examination, similar changes as males were  observed.
  At 20 mg/kg/day and 4 mg/kg/day, no effects were observed.

The result of the hematological and blood chemical
examination in male rats are summarized below.
