Examinations

Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
No effects on appearance, body weight, feed consumption, gross pathology, reporudctive organ weights;
No microscopic effects in the kidneys
Sperm parameters (parental animals):
Number of spermatocytes and spermatids was slightly reduced in 2/12 and 11/12 males of the mid-and high-dose groups, respectively, and moderately decreased in 1 high-dose male.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
NOEL (male) = 100 mg/kg/day; NOEL (female and offspring) = 1000 mg/kg/day;
Triethylhexyl Trimellilate is considered not having reprotoxic effects inn the conditions of a reprotoxic screening test.
