Results and discussion

Test results
Sex:
male
Genotoxicity:
negative
Additional information on results:
The initial test gave a positive trend from 2.1 micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes / 1000 to 3.8 in the high dose. Peripheral blood smears were negative as was a repeat bone marrow test using doses of 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw/day.
