Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality occurred.
Clinical signs:
No systemic and local clinical signs were observed during clinical examination.
Body weight:
The mean body weight of the male animals increased within the normal range throughout the study period. The mean body weight of the female animals did not adequately increase during the first post-exposure observation week, probably due to the bandage procedure, but increased during the second week within the normal range, with the exception of one female which still showed stagnation of body weight.
Gross pathology:
No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted in the animals (5 males and 5 females) examined on the last day of observation.
