Plasma ChE activity in additional male subjects treated with 1.5 mg/d dichlorvos―Results expressed as <strong>the</strong> mean ΔpH/h, with <strong>the</strong> % inhibition relative to pretreatment activity contained inparen<strong>the</strong>ses. The range is shown <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> dichlorvos group in paren<strong>the</strong>ses; 1 = only results <strong>for</strong> every secondtime point are shown; 2 = % inhibition in <strong>the</strong> control group subtracted from <strong>the</strong> % inhibition <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>dichlorvos group; 3 = data <strong>for</strong> one control subject only compared to his own baseline activity <strong>of</strong> 0.851.“Conclusions: The NOEL was 1.0 mg/d[ay], based on toxicologically-significantinhibition <strong>of</strong> plasma ChE activity at and above 1.5 mg/d[ay]. In <strong>the</strong> absence <strong>of</strong>bodyweight data <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> test subjects it is assumed that <strong>the</strong> average bodyweight <strong>for</strong>young healthy men is 70 kg. There<strong>for</strong>e <strong>the</strong> NOEL, using this figure, is 0.014 mg/kgbw/d[ay].‖ (Original not sighted; APVMA, 2008a)Dichlorvos reassessment – application Page 274 <strong>of</strong> 436
