Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
>= 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality occurred throughout the study period.
Clinical signs:
other: No signs of systemic toxicity were observed throughout the study period. Signs of dermal irritation after a single dose application were noted in females only: scratches (2/5) on Days 7-11; desquamation (1/5) on Days 7-11; eschar (1/5) on Days 9-11. Howev
Gross pathology:
With the exception of acute injection of blood vessels in the abdominal region, which is due to the euthanasia injection, no specific gross pathological changes were recorded for any animal.
