Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Details on results:
Decreased serum phosphate levels were observed in both sexes at a dose level of 300 mg/kg bw. The toxicological relevance of this finding is unclear. At 300 mg/kg, increased bilirubin concentrations were found in serum and urine, which may be indicative for a hepatotoxic action of the test compound. Females showed slightly increased liver weights, but without microsocpic correlates. Necroses of the adrenal cortex were found in one female each of the mid- and high-dose group.
