* One animal in the mid-dose group showed an early delivery on GD 19 and was killed.

** Body weight gain was statistically significantly reduced on GD 9 and 12 in the mid-dose group and on GD 9, 12 and 15 in the high-dose group. However, the effects were small and are not considered toxicologically relevant

*** Food consumption in the highest-dose group was decreased from days 6-12 post coitum. Food consumption of the mid-dose group was decreased from GD6-9. However, the reductions were small and not considered toxicologically relevant.

**** In the highest dose group a significant increase in post implantation loss and number of dead foetuses was observed. This was due to one litter consisting of ten dead foetuses. The study authors consider this a chance finding. The present reviewers endorse this view.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test the NOAEL was determined to be ≥ 200 mg/kg bw/day for maternal and developmental toxicity.
Executive summary:

A OECD 414 study was performed with rats. The animals were dose with 0, 20, 70, and 200 mg/kg bw/day d-carvone during gestational day 6 to 20. The dams were examined for mortality, clinical sigs, pregnancy, abortions, corpus lutea, body weight gain, food consumption, and pathology (macro and microscopy). Litter response was determined by monitoring the live fetuses, fetal weight, pre-implantation loss, post implantation loss, and sex ratio. Fetal examination included no. of fetuses, no of abnormal fetuses, no. of dead fetuses, malformations, external observations and visceral deviation, and skeletal deviations. No treatment related adverse effects were observed in the dams and the fetuses. Under the conditions of the test the NOAEL was determined to be ≥ 200 mg/kg bw/day for maternal and developmental toxicity.
