NTP Technical Report on the Toxicology and Carcinogenesis Study of Citral (Microencapsulated) (CAS No. 5392-40-5) in F344/N Rats and B6C3F(sub 1) Mice (Feed Studies)

摘要

The studies described in this Technical Report are designed and conducted to characterize and evaluate the toxicologic potential, including carcinogenic activity, of selected chemicals in laboratory animals (usually two species, rats and mice). Chemicals selected for NTP toxicology and carcinogenesis studies are chosen primarily on the basis of human exposure, level of production, and chemical structure. The interpretive conclusions presented in this Technical Report are based only on the results of these NTP studies. Extrapolation of these results to other species and quantitative risk analyses for humans require wider analyses beyond the purview of these studies.
