Statistics
The data were analyzed for homogeneity of variance by the Bartlett test. If variances were
homogeneous, data was analyzed by the Dunnett test, whereas heterogeneous data was analyzed by
the Dunnett type mean rank test (p<0.05, two-sided).
In the recovery test, these values of two groups were analyzed by F test. If variances were homogeneo
us, data was analyzed by the Student t-test, whereas heterogeneous data was analyzed by the AspinWelch t-test (p<0.05, two-sided).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
Conclusions
Because there are effects on the forestomach at 300 mg/kg bw/day in males, the NOAEL for repeated-dose toxicity of sodium 2-hydroxypropanoate was 100 mg/kg bw/day in rats.
Executive summary
A combined repeated-dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening
test was performed according to OECD TG 422. Male and female rats (12 animals/sex/dose)were
administered with sodium 2-hydroxypropanoate via oral gavage at doses of 0 [vehicle: water
for injection], 100, 300, and 1,000 mg/kg bw/day. Males (12/dose) were treated with sodium 2hydroxypropanoate for 42 days, with a 14-day premating period and subsequent mating period, whilefemales (12/dose) were treated for 41–50 days, with 14-day premating, mating, and gestation periods
12until lactation day 4. Among the 12 males treated with 0 and 1,000 mg/kg bw/day, 5 of them wereassigned as the recovery group. Additional 10 females treated with 0 and 1,000 mg/kg bw/day wereassigned as the satellite group and treated with sodium 2-hydroxypropanoate for 42 days, without
mating, and then examined after a 14-day recovery period.
No deaths were recorded, and there were no changes in clinical signs, manipulative test, grip strength,
motor activity, body weight, food consumption, urinalysis, hematology, blood chemistry, and grosspathological findings resulting from the treatment in any of the dose groups for both sexes at the endof the treatment and recovery periods. At the end of the administration period, thyroid hormone (T4 andTSH) levels were significantly increased in males receiving 1,000 mg/kg bw/day. Both absolute weightand relative weight of the thymus and spleen were also significantly increased in the mating groupfemales receiving 1,000 mg/kg bw/day. Histopathological changes were also seen in the forestomach,which include slight/mild hyperplasia of squamous cells, in males receiving ≥300 mg/kg bw/day, andmating and non-mating females receiving 1,000 mg/kg bw/day at the end of the administration period.
These histopathological findings in the forestomach indicate that there is a mucosal irritation by thetest substance. Since these changes lessen or disappear at the end of the recovery period, they arethought to be reversible. Because there are effects on the forestomach at 300 mg/kg bw/day in males,
the NOAEL for repeated-dose toxicity of sodium 2-hydroxypropanoate was 100 mg/kg bw/day in rats.

were selected.

Statistics
The data were analyzed for homogeneity of variance by the Bartlett test. If variances were
homogeneous, data was analyzed by the Dunnett test, whereas heterogeneous data was analyzed by
the Dunnett type mean rank test (p<0.05, two-sided).
In the recovery test, these values of two groups were analyzed by F test. If variances were homogeneo
us, data was analyzed by the Student t-test, whereas heterogeneous data was analyzed by the AspinWelch t-test (p<0.05, two-sided).
Reproductive indices
Each parameter was determined by the following equations:
Copulation index (%) = (No. of copulated animals / No. of mated animals) × 100
Fertility index (%) = (No. of pregnant females / No. of copulated females) × 100
Insemination index (%) = (No. of impregnated males / No. of copulated males) × 100
Gestation length (days) = No. of days from pregnancy 0 to delivery 0
Delivery index (%) = (No. of females which delivered liveborns / No. of pregnant females) × 100
Implantation index (%) = (No. of implantation sites / No. of corpora lutea) × 100
Stillborn index (%) = (No. of stillborn / No of liveborns and stillborns) × 100
Live birth index (%) = (No. of liveborn / No. of implantation sites) × 100
External abnormalities (%) = (No. of pups with external abnormalities / No. of liveborns) × 100
Sex ratio = No. of liveborns males / No. of liveborns

Applicant's summary and conclusion
Conclusions
In the combined repeated oral dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test (OECD TG 422), there were no effects on reproductive and developmental parameters up to
1000 mg/kg bw/day. The NOAEL for the rat reproductive/developmental toxicity of sodium=2-hyd
roxypropanoate was regarded as 1000 mg/kg bw/day, the highest dose tested.
Executive summary
A combined repeated-dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening
test was performed according to OECD TG 422. Male and female rats (12 animals/sex/dose)were administered with sodium 2-hydroxypropanoate via oral gavage at doses of 0 [vehicle: water
for injection], 100, 300, and 1,000 mg/kg bw/day. Males (12/dose) were treated with sodium 2hydroxypropanoate for 42 days, with a 14-day premating period and subsequent mating period, whilefemales (12/dose) were treated for 41–50 days, with 14-day premating, mating, and gestation periods
until lactation day 4. Among the 12 males treated with 0 and 1,000 mg/kg bw/day, 5 of them wereassigned as the recovery group. Additional 10 females treated with 0 and 1,000 mg/kg bw/day wereassigned as the satellite group and treated with sodium 2-hydroxypropanoate for 42 days, without
mating, and then examined after a 14 -day recovery period.
Mortalities were not recorded with any dose in the treatment period. No effects on reproductive toxicity(fertility and reproductive organs) and developmental toxicity were indicated up to the highest dose.
Because there was no effect at 1,000 mg/kg bw/day, the NOAEL for the reproduction and development
toxicity was 1,000 mg/kg bw day in rats.
