Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
the NOEL of O-Methylisourea sulphate was 510mg/kg in male rat and 530 mg/kg in female rats
Executive summary:

O-Methylisourea sulphate was administred with feed to male and female albino rats.

General conditions, behaviour and survival were not adversly affected by the feeding of the test substance

Body weights, food intake and food efficiency were decreased at the 1.5% level in both exes.

No distinct differences in haemoglobin content werde observed between the various groups

Gross examination at autopsy and histological examination of liver, kidneys andspleen did not reveal any treatment-related abnormaities.
