Materials and methods
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The animals received a solution of cyclohexanone in tap water acidified with HCl to pH 2.5 ad libitum, (for bacterial growth suppression). The solutions were dispensed into bottles with sipper tubes and prepared every 2 weeks and stored at 5 degrees C. Bottles were changed three times a week. Control animals received only acidified water and were kept in the same room. All animals were 7-8 weeks old at the beginning of the treatment The weighing of animals occurred once a week and at the end of the study. The weight of the male rats was 162 g (139-180 g); female rats - 126 g (107-143); male mice - 23 g (20-26 g); and female mice - 20 g (17-23 g). For the subchronic study, rats were housed 5 to a cage and mice were housed 10 to a cage. In the chronic study, rats and mice were housed 4 to a cage. The study with both species was conducted in a single animal holding room at 22-24°C in which there was frequent change of air (15 times per h). The animals were raised and housed behind a barrier, in a facility with clean-unclean corridors, the air pressure within the room being arranged so that air from the room would flow to the unclean side. Mice were monitored for murine virus antibodies. The animals were fed Wayne Sterilizable Lab Meal ad libitum. Animals were sacrificed and dissected, organs and tissues were fixed in Formalin, slides were prepared for histopathological examination.

Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In both male and female rats receiving 6,500 ppm cyclohexanone, there was a depression of weight gain, which approximated 10% less than the weight gain of the controls during the 25-week treatment, however no significant histopathological findings were observed.

Other than mentioned above, the only pathological change observed was a mild degenerative change in the thyroid gland of 2 male rats given 4,700 ppm cyclohexanone, not seen in other animals.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The oral 25-week repeated-dose assay in rats provided a NOEL value (508 mg/kg/day) and a NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) value (723 mg/kg/day).
- Executive summary:
A 25-week repeated-dose study was conducted in F344 rats by administering a solution of cyclohexanone in drinking water. All trested animals survived by the end of the treatment. A NOEL value (508 mg/kg/day - equiv. 3300 ppm) and a NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) value (723 mg/kg/day - equiv 4700 ppm) was established. A 10 % depression in weight gain was observed at 1000 mg/kg/day (equiv. 6500 ppm). The only pathological change observed was a mild degenerative change in the thyroid gland of 2 male rats given 4,700 ppm cyclohexanone, not seen in other animals.
