Popis: 2-Ethylhexyl stearate was investigated in an embryo-/foetotoxicity and teratogenicity study on rats according to OECD guidelines for the testing of chemicals (No. 414). Dose levels of 0 (arachidis oil), 100, 300 and 1000mg/kg body weight/day were administered by gavage. Dams tolerated the applied dose levels without any toxic effects. Pre- and post-implantation loss and mean numbers of resorptions were unaffected by treatment. All parameters were comparable with the animals of the control group. Skeletal and visceral investigations revealed no treatment-related malformations. For embryo-/foetotoxicity, teratogenicity and maternal toxicity a NOAEL of 1000mg/kg was deduced.
