Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

OBSERVATION: 
400 mg/kg bw: no ataxia
700 mg/kg bw: weight loss, prostration, diarrhea
1000 mg/kg bw: weight loss, prostration,
Histopathology (700 mg/kg): generalized vascular damage, perivascular edema, loss of colon epithelium, fatty change in the liver

HISTOPATHOLOGY OF NERVOUS TISSUES:
no axon degeneration or demyelination or any other pathological change at any dose level.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
There was weight loss at the mid and high dose groups but not evidence of neurotoxicity following histological examination of nervous tissues.
Executive summary:

Cats administered s.c single dose of TPP (400, 700, 1000 mg/kg bw) exhibited the following:

OBSERVATION: 
400 mg/kg bw: no ataxia
700 mg/kg bw: weight loss, prostration, diarrhea
1000 mg/kg bw: weight loss, prostration,
Histopathology (700 mg/kg): generalized vascular damage, perivascular edema, loss of colon epithelium, fatty change in the liver
HISTOPATHOLOGY OF NERVOUS TISSUES:
no axon degeneration or demyelination or any other pathological change at any dose level.
