Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- harmful
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: not specified
- Conclusions:
- Syrian hamster is more susceptible to the papillotoxic effects of diphenylamine than the Sprague-Dawley rat and the Mongolian gerbil.
The male Syrian hamster may prove useful as an alternative experimental rodent model of non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory, drug-induced papillary necrosis
