TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Elevage JANVIER, Le Genest Saint Isle, France
- Age at study initiation: 8 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 185-227 g
- Fasting period before study: food was removed 1 day before test substance administration (Day -1) and then redistributed 4 h after treatment.
- Housing: rats were housed in groups of 3 in solid-bottomed clear polycarbonate cages with a stainless steel mesh lid. Each cage contained sawdust bedding.
- Diet: pelleted diet M20 (SDS), ad libitum
- Water: tap-water from the public distribution system, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19-25
- Humidity (%): 30-70
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

olive oil

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg bw

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 (for each step)

Control animals:

other: not required

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: each animal was weighed on Day 0 (before test substance administration), 2, 7 and 14. Systemic examinations were carried out daily during the 14-day observation period.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weights, necropsy included macroscopic examination of animals

Statistics:

For body weights, mean values and standard deviations were calculated for all animals.
