Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Decahydronaphthalene was shown to induce increased concentration of urinary alpha-2u-globulin associated with alpha-2u-globulin concentration in the kidney.
Executive summary:

Marked elevation of urinary kidney-type-alpha 2u-globulin (alphaG-K, molecular weight approximately 16 kDa) was noted following oral treatment of adult male rats with decahydronaphthalene by gavage (1.5 mmol/kg/day) for 7 consecutive days, in association with increased concentrations of renal alphaG-K and hyaline droplet accumulation in renal proximal convoluted tubule epithelial cells.

The findings in this study thus indicate that measurement of urinary alphaG-K can give a reliable estimates not only of the potential to cause renal accumulation of alpha-2u-globulin but also of its magnitude.
