Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on an oral 28-day limit study, there were only slight morphological changes seen in the kidney proximal tubules. The microscopical changes in kidneys appear similar to those seen with 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride. In addition to the renal histopathological changes, there was a 20% increase in relative kidney weights in male animals. Based on the kidney changes seen in the 28- day study the LOAEL for (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)trimethylammonium chloride after oral administration is 1085 mg/kg/day.
