Meta-xylohydroquinone (M-X) in various doses was fed to male and female rats and mice in order to observe its effect on their reproductive physiology.

The administration of 1 mg M-X to breeding mice in a single dose resulted in resorption, abortion or still-birth. Toxic effects were not seen with any other dose.

It is suggested that the substance may have some effect on the oestrous cycle, causing irregularities.

The evidence available from the experiments carried out does not support the view that M-X prevents nidation.
