Any other information on results incl. tables

All dose levels: no myelotoxic or cytogenetic effects (no significant chromosomal damage to bone marrow cells observable).
200 and 1000 mg/kg bw/d: significant increases in relative liver weights.
1000 mg/kg bw/d: increased mortality and decreased body weight gain.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
All dose levels: no myelotoxic or cytogenetic effects (no significant chromosomal damage to bone marrow cells observable). 200 and 1000 mg/kg bw/d: significant increases in relative liver weights. 1000 mg/kg bw/d: increased mortality and decreased body weight gain.
Executive summary:

All dose levels: no myelotoxic or cytogenetic effects (no significant chromosomal damage to bone marrow cells observable).
