Details on results (P0)
There was a slight increase in food consumption in males dosed with 12000ppm test material from 6-10 weeks of the study, the effect being statistically significant at weeks 6-9. Food utilisation was slightly less efficient overall for males receiving 12000ppm test material.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
An increase in liver weight was observed for both male and female parents receiving 12000ppm test material. No other group treatment group was effected. This increase in liver weight has been reported previously and is associated with peroxisome proliferation (Moody and Reddy 1978).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study the No Observed Adverse Effect Level for parental animals was determined to be 170 mg/kg bw/day. The No Observed Adverse Effect Level for the F1 offspring was determined to be 170 mg/kg bw/day.
- Executive summary:
The reproductive toxicity of the test material was determined in a GLP study conducted to a methodology which was similar or equivalent to that which is outlined in the standardised guideline OECD 415. During the study groups of 30 females and 15 males received test material in the diet at dose levels of 0, 300, 1800, 12000 ppm in diet. Animals were administered test material daily over a period of 10 weeks. One male rat was cohabited with two female rats, for 10 days, until mating was confirmed. Animals were caged separately thereafter. During the study, animals were observed daily for clinical signs and body weights were recorded at weekly intervals. Food consumption for each animal determined and mean daily diet consumption calculated as g food/kg body weight/day and food utilisation values per cage were calculated (as the weight gained by the animals in the cage per 100g of food eaten). A count of all live and dead pups was made within 24 hrs (day 1), at days 5, 11, 22, 29 and 36 post partum. The sexes of the pups were also recorded at these times. Parental males were sacrificed after completion of mating and parental females were sacrificed after weaning their litters for histopathological examination. All pups were killed as soon as possible after Day 36 post partum and subjected to histopathological examination.
In parental animals, there was a slight increase in food consumption in males dosed with 12000 ppm test material from 6 - 10 weeks of the study, the effect being statistically significant at weeks 6 - 9. Food utilisation was slightly less efficient overall for males receiving 12000 ppm test material. An increase in liver weight was observed for both male and female parents receiving 12000ppm test material. No other group treatment group was effected.
In F1 offspring, Mean pup weight gain and total litter weight for both male and female offspring receiving 12000 ppm test material were reduced throughout the whole of the post partum phase. There was no effect on either male or female pup weight gain in any other dose group in comparison with the control animals.
Under the conditions of the study the No Observed Adverse Effect Level for parental animals was determined to be 170 mg/kg bw/day. The No Observed Adverse Effect Level for the F1 offspring was determined to be 170 mg/kg bw/day.
