Purity- No data reported

Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
other: albino
Sex:
male
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
male albino rabbits (2.0-3.2 kg).

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
acetone
Details on oral exposure:
Single intragastric administrations were given to male albino rabbits (2.0-3.2 kg). Due to high viscosity, EPON 828 was delivered as a 95% solution with 5% acetone.
Doses:
No additional information provided.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
No additional information provided.
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
Single intragastric administrations were given to male albino rabbits (2.0-3.2 kg). Due to high viscosity, EPON 828 was delivered as a 95% solution with 5% acetone. The animals were observed for the following 10 days, and survivors were necropsied. Sections of tissues were preserved in formalin for histologic examination. LD50 values were calculated according to the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (1948) or the method of Weil (1952).
