Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The information summarised in this study record was taken from the EU Risk Assessment report for zinc (EU RAR 2004) where it has been thoroughly reviewed. Due to the unavailability of the primary reference, the study was rated with reliability 4 for formal reasons. However, the results of this study will be used in the hazard assessment of the zinc category substances in a weight of evidence approach.

positive: with metabolic activation at 30 and 40 ug/ml.
Executive summary:

In an OECD 473 guideline study, zinc monoglycerolate was tested at concentrations of 5 -20 ug/ml without metabolic acitivation and 10 -40 ug/ml with metabolic activation in human lymphocytes. Zinc monoglycerolate was positive with metabolic activation at 30 and 40 ug/ml.
