Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Details on results:
- Treated male rats weighed 26% less than the controls.
- In males, the kidneys were 45% heavier than the controls.
- In females, the kidney weights were 42% heavier than the controls although the body weight was 11% less than the controls.
- A severe drop in rectal temperature was observed in treated animals, from 100.7 to 92.5 ºF in 2 hours.
- After two hours the temperature slowly rose so that by 8 hours after the injection it had returned to 99.1 ºF.
- There were no differences between the weights of the bodies, kidneys, and adrenal glands of treated male and female rats and the control animals.
- Most of the tungsten was eliminated in the urine within 12 hours.
