- Executive summary:
Dietary administration of the test substance to F344 rats at dose levels of 2.5% or 5% (equivalent to overall achieved intakes of 1033 or 2214 mg/kg/day for males and 1203 or 2513 mg/kg/day for females, respectively) in the diet for 104 weeks exerted no effects on mortality, clinical signs or haematology data, except soft faeces in 5% males and females. Although decreases in the final body weights were recorded in males and females receiving the 5% dose, the values during the experimental period were less than 10% lowered as compared with the control group. This weight suppression might be a result from the low calorific property of the test substance. However, the effect of the test substance on total calorie intake was considered to be a little, because the quantity of the test substance in the admixture was only 5% at the maximum, and food consumptions seem to have increased with the test substance concentrations in order to compensate low calorie. Soft faeces observed in 5% males and females, possibly caused by the high concentration of the test substance excretion in the faeces, might be concerned in body weight suppression. In the organ weights, decrease in absolute and increase in relative brain weights were observed in males of the 5% group, and decrease of absolute kidney values was noted in females of the 5% group. However, here were no remarkable changes in these organs on histopathology. Increases in the absolute and relative testis weights were observed in males of the 5% group. In rats, spontaneous interstitial cell tumours in the testes occur at very high incidence, reaching 81–91% at 104 weeks of age. In the present study, the incidence of interstitial cell tumours in the control group was 92% (within the reference background range), whereas that in the 5% group was decreased to 72%. This low incidence was considered to reflect differences in testis weights between the control and 5% groups. Dietary restriction has been shown to reduce the incidences of a variety of rodent spontaneous tumours, including interstitial cell tumours in F344 rats. Additionally, the suppression of body weight is considered to be associated with low neoplasm incidences. In the present study, the suppression of body weight may have caused a low incidence of testis interstitial cell tumour. However, suppression of body weight gain is much weaker than those in dietary restriction experiments. Therefore, it is likely that unknown factors other than lower body weight might be also concerned. Histopathological assessment revealed pituitary adenomas and endometrial stromal polyps in the females, and thyroid adenomas in both sexes at relatively high incidences. However, the lack of significant differences between the control and treated groups suggests a spontaneous nature for these lesions. Large granular leukaemia is well known to arise in aged F344 rats, and the incidence observed in our control group was within the range of reported values. The test substance-treated groups showed a tendency for decrease in the incidence of large granular leukaemia, and again this might have been due to dietary restriction. Incidence in large granular leukaemia might also be due to low body weight. Tumours were also detected in other organs or tissues, but their incidences were consistently very low. None of the treated groups showed significant increase in the incidence of any specific tumour over the control group level. In conclusion, the present results demonstrate that the test substance dose not exert any carcinogenic potential in male and female F344 rats fed for two years.

Justification for classification or non-classification
Additional information
The test substance was not carcinogenic in a 104-week rat feeding study.
Justification for classification or non-classification:
No carcinogenicity was observed in a 104-week rat feeding study, therefore no classification is required for carcinogenicity according to EU Directive 67/548/EEC and EU Classification and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
