Details on study design:
A group of three fasted females was treated with the test material at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. This was followed by a group of three fasted animals of the other sex at the same dose level.
Clinical signs and bodyweight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.
