Remarks:
Doses / Concentrations:
19, 49, 67 and 90 ppm (corresponds to 0.107, 0.276, 0.378 and 0.508 mg/L)
Basis:

5
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
At the end of the exposure period, rats were anaesthetized with pentobarbital and exsanguinated from the abdominal aorta.

Examinations

Examinations:
Blood samples were collected in tubes containing complexon as an anticoagulant.
Red blood cells, total white blood cell and leukocyte differential counts were performed.

Results and discussion

Details on results:
A statistically significant decrease in the number of circulating leukocytes (without any change in differential or red blood cell counts) was observed in rats exposed for 4 hours to increasing concentrations of isophorone.
