Abstract
Groups of male and female rats received a sucroacetoglycerides containing product (SAG) for 3 months at dietary levels of 0, 2.5, 5 and 10%. Food consumption was initially increased in females at all SAG-levels. After two weeks significant increases in food intake were observed in males and females fed 10% SAG throughout the feeding period. The serum analysis revealed significantly elevated activity in serum alkaline phosphatase at the highest SAG-level in males and females after 6 weeks and in females after 13 weeks. Histological changes related to the SAG-feeding were noted in the intestinal lymph nodes of male and female animals fed 10% SAG. The no-adverse effect level established in this subchronic feeding study was 5% SAG in the diet of rats, equivalent to a daily intake of 3.6 g/kg body weight in males and 4.0 g/kg in females.
