- Age at study initiation: 8 weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: 190 to 210 g
- Fasting period before study: day before treatment food was removed and restored 4 hours after test item administration

- Diet (ad libitum)
- Water (ad libitum): drinking water (tap-water from public distribution system)
- Acclimation period: at least five days

- Relative humidity: 42 % - 56 %
- Air exchanges: at least ten changes/hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- other: distilled water
- Details on oral exposure:
- VEHICLE
- Batch no.: 100284201
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 mL/kg bw (control group: 2 mL/kg bw)
DOSAGE PREPARATION:
The test item was freshly prepared in distilled water. - Doses:
- 2000 mg/kg bw
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- Treatment group: 6 female rats (3 females/step)
Control group: 6 female rats - Control animals:
- yes
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: during the acclimatisation period the animals were observed once a day. Furthermore, observations were carried out 30 minutes as well as 1, 3, and 4 hours after test item administration followed by daily administration.
The animals were weighed just before administeration of the test item (day 0) then on days 2, 7, and 14. Weight changes were calculated and recorded.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, macroscopic examinations were carried out. Only those organs likely to be modified in cases of acute toxicity were examined. Those presenting macroscopic anomalies can be removed and preserved in view to microscopic examinations. - Statistics:
- not applicable
Results and discussion
- Preliminary study:
- not applicable

- Effect level:
- > 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- No mortality occurred during the study.
- Clinical signs:
- No clinical signs were observed during the acclimatisation period.
