- Details on oral exposure:
- PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
To prepare the solution, 1,6-Hexandiol was heated up to 50°C and weighed depending on the dose group. Then doubly distilled water was added and the mixture was subsequently dissolved with a magnetic stirrer for at least 5 minutes. The test substance preparations were prepared in intervals, for which the stability was demonstrated (the preparations were not stored for longer than 4 hours).
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 1, 4, 10%
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 ml/kg bw - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- - The analyses of the test substance and its preparations were carried out at the Analytical Department of BASF AG (Dr. P. Schmidt responsible)
- Before the beginning of the study, the stability of the test substance in the vehicle for a period of 4 hours at room temperature was checked in study 32M0015/924088 (BASF AG).
- Due to the fact, that the test substance preparations were true solutions, it was not necessary to verify the homogeneous distribution by analysis.
- At the start of the study, one sample of each concentration was sent to the analytical laboratory for determination of the correctness of the concentration of the test substance preparations.
. - Duration of treatment / exposure:

Doses / concentrations
- Remarks:
- Doses / Concentrations:
100, 400, 1000 mg/kg/d
Basis:
actual ingested
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5
- Control animals:
- yes, concurrent vehicle
- Details on study design:
- - Dose selection rationale:
The oral LD50 value, rat, is determined as >3,000 mg/kg body weight (BUA Stoffbericht 107, Oct .1992). Alos, the neurotoxicological potential of 1, 6-Hexandiol was investigated in comparison to 2,5-Hexandion and/or 2,5-Hexandiol by repeated administration to rats as 0.5% solution in drinking water over 12 weeks and by administration of 414 mg/kg body weight/day ip over 5 weeks, respectively. No signs of neurotoxicity occurred (BUA Stoffbericht 107, Oct. 1992).

- How many animals: 5
- Parameters checked in table were examined: differential blood count (leukocytes, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, platelets) clotting analysis
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY: Yes
- Time schedule for collection of blood: in the morning
- Animals fasted: No
- How many animals: 5
- Parameters checked in table were examined: Enzymes (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase,serum-y-glutamyltransferase), Blood chemistry (sodium, potassium, chloride, inorganic phosphate, calcium, urea, creatinine, glucose, total bilirubin, total protein, albumin, globulins, triglycerides, cholesterol, magnesium)

- Metabolism cages used for collection of urine: Yes

NEUROBEHAVIOURAL EXAMINATION: No - Sacrifice and pathology:
- GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes - Statistics:
- - Clinical examinations, clinical chemistry and hematology:
For all values, excepting the differential blood count, and body weight data a non-parametric one-way analysis was performed using the KRUSKAL-WALLIS test. If the resulting p-values were equal or less than 0 .05, a pairwise comparison of each dose group with the control group
was carried out . This comparison was performed via the MANN-WHITNEY U-test [1) for hypothesis of equal medians. If the results of this test were significant, labels (* for p<0.05, ** for p<0.02, ***for p<0.002) were printed together with the group means in the tables. Both tests were performed two-sided.
- Urinalyses:
With the exception of volume, color, turbidity, specific gravity and pH, the scale for the urine parameters is divided into 4 sections (0, 1, 2, 3). For the parameter "Nitrite" only a division in two sections (0, 1) is made. The parameters were sorted into 2 classes. This was done for the statistical analysis. A pairwise comparison of each dose group with the control was carried out using FISHER'S exact test for the hypotheses of equal proportions . If the results of this test are significant, labels (* for p<=0.5, ** for p<= 0.01) were printed in the tables.

Any other information on results incl. tables
There were no substantial substance-related effects
concerning food consumption, body weight, body weight
change, clinical, clinicochemical, gross pathological and
histopathological observations.
The observed statistical significances for the values of
body weight (-13% at 400 mg/kg/d) and body weight gain (-31
and -25%, respectively, at the 400 and 1000 mg/kg/d dose
level) toward the end of the study in female rats are
regarded as incidental, because of missing dose-response
relationship. In parallel, the values for food consumption
were also reduced, but without showing statistical
significance. Furthermore, all these changes were within
ranges of historical controls.
Thus, under the study conditions, the test substance at
doses of 100, 400 or 1000 mg/kg/d caused no
substance-related effects in rats.
