Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Details on results:
Clinical observations:
There were no unscheduled deaths and no treatment related
clinical signs. Sensory reactivity observations, grip
strength, motor activity, bodyweight and food consumption
were considered to be unaffected by treatment.

Laboratory findings:
Lower than control group mean haematocrit, haemoglobin and
mean cell haemoglobin values and evidence of hyperchromasia
were recorded for both sexes receiving 1000 mg/kg/day.

Lower than control red blood cell and mean cell haemoglobin
concentration values were present for females receiving 1000
mg/kg/day and a lower than control group mean mean cell
volume was recorded for males receiving 1000 mg/kg/day.
Females at 1000 mg/kg/day showed higher than control mean
lymphocyte, total white blood cell and platelet counts.

Higher than control group mean blood urea values were
evident for both sexes receiving 1000 mg/kg/day. Higher than
control aspartate amino-transferase and glucose values were
recorded for males receiving 1000 mg/kg/day and higher than
control cholesterol values were recorded for females
receiving 1000 mg/kg/day. In addition a higher than control
mean albumin, total protein and A/G ratio were recorded for
males receiving 1000 mg/kg/day.

Effects in organs:
An increased incidence of liver enlargement and heavier than
control group mean liver weights were recorded for both
sexes receiving 1000 mg/kg/day and females receiving

150 mg/kg/day with a dose relationships observed for the
females. Heavier than control group mean kidney and spleen
weights were recorded for females receiving 1000 mg/kg/day.

Generalised hepatocyte hypertrophy/eosinophilia was seen in
the liver of both sexes receiving 1000 mg/kg/day. Follicular
cell hypertrophy was seen in the thyroid and a slight
increase in the severity of extramedullary haemopoiesis was
seen in the spleen of females receiving

1000 mg/kg/day.
