<strong>Toxicological</strong> evaluation<br />

The Meet<strong>in</strong>g established an ADI of 0–0.2 mg/kg bw based on a NOAEL of 15.2 mg/kg bw<br />

per day identified on the basis of the liver weight and cl<strong>in</strong>ical chemistry changes and prostate weight<br />

changes and prostate fibrosis observed at higher doses <strong>in</strong> the 13-week and the1-year studies <strong>in</strong> dogs.<br />

A safety factor of 100 was applied.<br />

The Meet<strong>in</strong>g established an ARfD of 0.6 mg/kg bw based on a NOAEL of 60 mg/kg bw per<br />

day idenitified on the basis of postimplantation losses at higher doses <strong>in</strong> the study of developmental<br />

toxicity <strong>in</strong> rats. A safety factor of 100 was applied.<br />
