Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Effects on fertility
Description of key information
Lime Oxide at nominal dose levels of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day, to rats for a period of 55 days, including throughout gestation and into early lactation for females, resulted in toxicity at 1000 mg/kg/day. Effects consisted of reduced food consumption with associated reductions in body weight gain and reduced grip strength. Clinical chemistry analysis of the blood showed lower than expected blood protein and albumin levels.
Microscopic changes in the bone marrow and lungs were also observed.
Effects at 300 mg/kg/day were confined to lower body weight gain, and reduced food consumption, with minor changes in blood albumin and total protocol for females.
The findings observed at this dose level were considered to be not adverse, therefore the No Observed Adverse Effect level (NOAEL) for systemic toxicity was considered to be 300 mg/kg/day.
No systemic or reproductive toxicity was associated with Lime Oxide administration was observed at the low dose, therefore 100 mg/kg/day was considered to be the No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) for systemic and reproductive toxicity.

Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
