Any other information on results incl. tables

SIGNS OF MATERNAL TOXICITY, seen at doses as low as 8 mg/kg/day, included VAGINAL BLEEDING, DECREASED BODYWEIGHT GAIN, REDUCED FOOD CONSUMPTION, DEATH, INCREASED RELATIVE LIVER WEIGHTS, ATROPHY OF THE THYMUS, and ABERRANT SERUM CHEMISTRY. The number of FOETAL RESORPTIONS/DEATHS was MARKEDLY INCREASED, and the number of VIABLE OFFSPRING DECREASED, by CCCO exposure at doses of 30 mg/kg/day and greater. THE GROUP RECEIVING 250 mg/kg/day CARRIED NO VIABLE OFFSPRING. Foetuses from pregnant females exposed to CCCO at doses greater than 8 mg/kg/day were smaller than those from the negative control and 4 mg/kg/day groups, and their skeletons showed decreased ossification. ABNORMAL EXTERNAL DEVELOPMENT and VISCERAL DEVELOPMENT WERE OBSERVED IN LIVING AND DEAD FOETUSES EXPOSED IN UTERO to CCCO at DOSE LEVELS of 8 mg/kg/day and greater.
