Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Details on results:
At 30 ppm mean body weights were slightly lower when compared to the controls, and slight elevation of blood glucose, serum alkaline phosphatase, blood urea nitrogen and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase activities were reported.
PFOS at doses of 100 ppm and greater caused liver enzyme elevations, hepatic vacuolization, hepatocellular hypertrophy, weight loss, convulsions and death.
