Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Details on results:
Clinical observations:
No clinical symptoms related to the administration of the test article and no signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the study.

Laboratory findings: the finding in treated groups were unremarkable and comparable to those of the controls. The investigations revealed a minimal higher ativity of alkaline phosphatase in the male of group 4 (250 mg/kg) and male and females of the high dose group (1000 mg/kg).

Effects in organs:
- Eye examinations performed before and towards the end of the treatment period revealed no evidence of reaction to the treatment.
- A trend to slightly increased liver weights was observed in treated males group 4 and 5 (250+1000 mg/kg) and in females group 5.
- Macroscopical and microscopical examination revealed no changes which could be attributed to effects of the test compound.

No toxic effect level: 50 mg/kg bw.
