Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The results of this study indicate an NOEL of 625mg/kg bw /day under the conditions adopted in this study
Executive summary:

In the study conducted by French et al (1986), Fischer 344 rats were exposed to butyraldehyde administered orally by gavage in corn oil for a total of 12 dose days. The findings of this study included gastric lesions (erosion, ulceration, inflammation and hyperplasia) which were considered to be dose-related. The dose or concentration at which no toxic effects were observed was determined to be 625 mg/kg/day, meaning the NOEL was 625 mg/kg bw/day.
