Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Details on results:
Treatment with 1000 ppm atrazine resulted in significantly depressed body weight gain and reduced food consumption. A treatment related effect on the heart in high dose animals correlated with cardioelectrographic changes, ascites, irregular heart beat, dilatation of the heart, and myocardial degeneration.
