Executive summary:

Data have been obtained from secondary source that mentions Tainter ML, Cutting WC, Wood DA, et al. 1934b. Di-nitrophenol. Studies of blood, urine, and tissues of dogs on continued medication and after acute fatal poisoning. Arch Pathol 18:881. The method was based on an exposure to dogs via capsules of 2,4-dinitrophenol for six months. No further details were specified.

Testicular tissue vas histologically analysed after the 2,4 -dinitrophenol exposure and no gross histological evidence of treatment-related testicular damage. No gross histological evidence of treatment-related testicular damage was reported following 2,4-dinitrophenol at 5 or 10 mg/Kg/day.
