Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: Highest dose tested. No mortality occurred and the only clinical sign manifested was piloerection (fully reversible within 1 day)
Mortality:
No mortalities occurred.
Clinical signs:
other: - Slight piloerection was seen. This is common symptom in acute dermal tests. The animals recovered within 1 day.
Gross pathology:
At necropsy, no deviations from normal morphology were found.
