Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Details on results:
Clinical observations:
Clinical observation revealed no test substance-related
changes in any group.
No body weight or food consumption examinations showed any
test substance-related changes in any group.
Laboratory findings:
Biochemical examination revealed high values of gamma-GTP
and BUN and low values of glucose and chloride in males in
the 1000 mg/kg group.
Effects in organs:
Organ weight measurement revealed a high value of relative
liver weight in males and females in the 1000 mg/kg group
and a high value of relative kidney weight in males in the
1000 mg/kg group.
Histopathological examination revealed hypertrophy of the
centrilobular hepatocytes in males and females in the 1000
mg/kg group.
High relative liver weights were still apparent in the top
dose group at the end of the recovery period.
