Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Clinical signs:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
Clinical observations: no mortality and no treatment related clinical signs were noted.
Mortality:
no mortality observed
Description (incidence):
Clinical observations: no mortality and no treatment related clinical signs were noted.
Body weight and weight changes:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
A decrease in body weight gain was noted for group 3 males (not significant) and group 4 males and females (statistically significant)
Clinical biochemistry findings:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Laboratory findings: A very slight increase of blood urea nitrogen was noted in group 4 (not significant when compared to controls). This effect was reversible after 4 weeks without treatment.
Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
Effects in organs: no histopathological findings was considered to be treatment related.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Not classified
Executive summary:

The Di-methyl benzylidene sorbitol (DMDBS), was administered to rat, males and females for 13 weeks at doses of 0, 123.1 mg/kg, 406.4 and 1261.3 mg/kg bw/d for males and 0, 135.7, 478.5, and 1479.2 mg/kg bw/d for females in diet.

No mortality or abnormal clinical signs were attribuable to treatment. A decrease in body weight gain was noted for group 3 males (not significant) and group 4 males and females (statistically significant). A very slight increase of blood urea nitrogen was noted in group 4 (not significant when compared to controls). This effect was reversible after 4 weeks without treatment. No histopathological findings was considered to be treatment related. The NOAEL = 406.4 mg/kg for male or 478.5 mg/kg for female.
