Study observed

 

Marine Diesel Fuel:

 

No histological changes were noted in the reproductive system of mice.

 

JP-5 navy fuel:

No histological changes were noted in the reproductive system of mice.

 

NOAEL (subchronic, mice, reproduction)= 4000 mg/kg bw/day –Marine Diesel Fuel

 

NOAEL (subchronic, mice, reproduction)= 8000 mg/kg bw/day –JP-5 navy fuel
