Any other information on results incl. tables

~23.5 hours after dosing, 2 males from the 4000mg/kg supplementary group were found dead. One male from the 4000 mg/kg had squinted eyes and appeared languid. Prior to 72 hour harvest, 1 female from the supplementary group had developed a distended abdomen.
