Doses / concentrations
Remarks:
Doses / Concentrations:
20, 60, 120 mM (4.1, 12.4, and 24.7 mg/kg)
Basis:
nominal conc.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
4 to 6
Control animals:
yes

Examinations

Examinations:
- Gastric Mucosal damage was observed.
- Lipid peroxidation was determined.
Positive control:
None

Results and discussion

Details on results:
NH2Cl generated from a reaction of NaClO with NH4OH, produced severe hemorrhagic lesions in the rat stomach at the concentration of 60 mM or greater. In addition, intragastric administration of NH2Cl (120 mM) caused multiple bandlike lesions in the gastric mucosa, the lesion score being 128.2 +/- 19.6 mm2.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this test, monochloramine unduced gastric lesions.
