Any other information on results incl. tables

A significant reduction in weight gain was observed in animals which had received Lycasin® when compared to concurrent control group on Day 3 for male rats and on Days 3 and 7 for female rats. The weight changes of the animals which had received Lycasin® is otherwise comparable in the two groups from Day 7 to Day 14 for male rats and from Day 10 to Day 14 for female rats. There were no other particular clinical signs observed during the 14 days of the study.
