Examinations

Statistics:
The frequency of micronucleated cells among normochromatic erythrocytes was analyzed by a statistical software package (ILS, 1990) that employed a one-tailed trend test across exposure groups and a t-test for pairwise comparisons of each exposure group to the concurrent control.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Analyses of peripheral blood samples taken from male and female mice at the end of the 13-week study revealed no increased incidences of micronucleated normochromatic erythrocytes in males or females.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
DBP did not cause an increased incidences of micronucleated normochromatic erythrocytes in males or female rats after a 13 week dosing period.
