- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- Lime: 16 animals
Control (untrated): 25 animals - Control animals:
- not specified
- Details on study design:
- Animals were killed only when moribund.
Dead or killed animals were carefully observed for any gross abnormalities.
Liver, stomach, cheek pouch and kidney were fixed in 10 per cent neutral formalin and the tissues were processed for histopathological studies; 6 µm thick paraffin sections were cut and stained with haematoxylin and eosin and carefully observed under the microscope. Tissues of some animals could not be studied due to autolysis und cannibalism in hamsters.
Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Details on results:
- According to the authors, the animals showed hyperplasia and papillary formations in oral mucosa.
Lime alone:
Sixteen cheek pouches were studied for histopathology of which 3 were normal and 3 had mild epithelial hyperplasia. Early papillary formation in eight, and advancing papillary formation in two animals were seen.
The liver of the treated animals showed necrosis (5/14), fibrosis (5/14) or cirrhosis (3/14).
Untreated control:
Of the 25 cheek pouches observed 19 were normal. Mild hyperplasia in two and early papillary formation in four were seen.
The liver of the control animals showed necrosis (3/31), fibrosis (7/31) or cirrhosis (3/31).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
