Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Details on results:
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
no weight gain during the entire period; reduction in body weight.

GROSS PATHOLOGY and HISTOPATHOLOGY
Internal organs were normal, with the exception of follicular hyperplasia of the spleen.

Local changes of the skin at the site of the application were limited almost entirely to the surface epithelium, consisting in keratinization, proliferation of squamous epithelium and infiltration with leucocytes in various stages of degeneration.
