Any other information on results incl. tables

TNG as a 3,41% solution in 31,5% peanut oil containig 65% lactose produced 40% response according to the guinea pig "maximization test" procedure. The more detailed information about resulst are not available.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
ambiguous
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Nitroglycerin caused "moderate" skin sensitization in this test and is likely to cause skin sensitization in a small fraction of humans following repeated skin contact.
