Any other information on results incl. tables

Gestonorone caproate did not show a mutagenic potential in the bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test in S. typhimurium strains TA98, TA 100, TA 1538, TA 1535 and TA1537) up to the highest tested concentration of 2.5 mg/plate (at which precipitates of test compound were observed) in the absence or presence of extrinsic metabolic activation (liver S9 mix from Aroclor 1254 -treated rats).
