Results and discussion

Results: maternal animals

Maternal developmental toxicity

Description (incidence and severity):
all females had viable foetuses (with or without treatment) and pre- and post-implantation loss as well as numbers of resorption were not affected by treatment whatever the doses
Description (incidence and severity):
No lethality was observed on all pups

Effect levels (maternal animals)

Key result
Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
Effect level:
1 000 mg/kg bw/day (nominal)
Basis for effect level:
dead fetuses
number of abortions
total litter losses by resorption

Results (fetuses)

Description (incidence and severity):
skeletal and visceral examinations did not show malformations
Description (incidence and severity):
skeletal and visceral examinations did not show malformations

skeletal and visceral examinations did not show malformations

Effect levels (fetuses)

Key result
Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
Effect level:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The NOAEL (developmental toxicity) for the APG-C12/C16 is 1000 mg/kg (the highest dose tested)
