MALE & FEMALE RATS WERE FED HIGH DOSES OF MYRJ 45 FOR MORE THAN 12 WK, THEN REPRODUCTION & LACTATION WERE MEASURED. A SOMEWHAT GREATER PROP OF INFANT DEATHS NOTED AT 10% LEVEL THAN AT 5% LEVEL, WHEREAS AT 20% LEVEL SIGNIFICANT DIMINUTION OF SURVIVAL OF NEWBORN WAS OBSERVED.

THESE ESTERS ARE HYDROLYZED IN THE BOWEL. THE FATTY ACID IS ABSORBED & METABOLIZED; AT LEAST THE SHORTER POLYOXYETHYLENE RESIDUES ARE ALSO ABSORBED, BUT THEY ARE EXCRETED UNCHANGED IN THE URINE (NO DETECTABLE METABOLISM TO OXALIC ACID IN MAN).
