Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No test substance-related changes were noted in clinical observations, body weight gains, food consumption, and the findings obtained from hematology testing, blood chemical examination, urinalysis, and pathological examination. The NOAELs were considered to be 1,000 mg/kg/day in both sexes.
Executive summary:

oral toxicity in rats according to the 28-day repeated dose toxicity test [Japanese TG ].

As the study was well controlled and conducted under GLP, it is regarded as a key study. Male and

female SD rats were orally administered (gavage) at doses of 0, 20, 140 and 1,000 mg/kg/day.

No test substance-related changes were noted in clinical observations, body weight gains, food

consumption, and the findings obtained from hematology testing, blood chemical examination,

urinalysis, and pathological examination. The NOAELs were considered to be 1,000 mg/kg/day in

both sexes (MHW, 1996b).
