Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Details on results:
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY: mean (± SD) ALT values (mU/mL) were significantly (p<0.01) increased compared to controls in females at 4 weeks: 33 ± 3.4, 47 ± 4.3**, 42 ± 5.7** and 39 ± 4.0** for control, 15, 150 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups, respectively.
Urea nitrogen was significantly (p<0.05) increased in females of the 1000 mg/kg bw/day at 4 weeks (14 ± 1.3 and 17 ± 2.2 mg/dL, for control and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups, respectively).

ORGAN WEIGHT: adjusted mean kidneys weights (g) were significantly (**: p<0.01; *:p<0.05) decreased compared to controls in females at 4 weeks: 1.98, 1.95, 1.92 and 1.77** for control, 15, 150 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups, respectively. They were significantly increased after the recovery period: 1.86 and 1.98* for control and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups, respectively. The mean adjusted kidneys weights were also significantly lower than controls for males only after the recovery period: 3.05 and 2.72** for control and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups, respectively.

URINALYSIS: the volume of urine was significantly (p<0.05) increased in females administered 1000 mg/kg bw/day at 4 weeks (2.4 ± 1.28 and 3.8 ± 0.89 mL, for control and 1000 mg/kg bw/day groups, respectively).
