Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Sprague-Dawley
Sex:

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Weight at study initiation: 200-300 g
- Fasting period before study: for at least 16 hours prior to administration



Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
corn oil
Details on oral exposure:
DOSAGE PREPARATION: Solutions of the test material were prepared such that precalculated doses could be given using dose volumes of 0.01 ml per gram of body weight.


Doses:
500, 1000, 2000, 4000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days

Rats were weighed individually at the time of testing to determine the proper injection volume. Any deaths occuring during this observation period were included in the final mortality figures.
Statistics:
Mortality data was treated statistically using the moving average interpolation method of Weil (1952) for LD50 and 95 % confidence limits determinations.
