Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

In a two-week oral study, five male rats were dosed by oral gavage with 144 mg/kg bw/day of isononanol. In the control group, ten animals received the vehicle, PEG (polyethylene glycol) 300, daily for 14 days.  Animals were sacrificed after 14 days and blood was analyzed for plasma cholesterol and triglycerides.  The liver was removed for histopathological analysis, analysis of catalase, and CN-insensitive palmitoyl CoA oxidation.  Testicular weight was also determined. Isononanol did not significantly influence bodyweight gain, liver to bodyweight ratio, testis to bodyweight ratio, or palmitoyl CoA oxidase activity. It is concluded that the NOAEL is 144 mg/kg/day.
