POST-MORTEM EXAMINATIONS: Organs were removed, reproductive organs were weighed
HISTOPATHOLOGICAL EXAMINATION: Ovaries, uterus, harderian gland, eyeball, mammary gland, spleen - Ovaries and uterine content:

Results and discussion
Results: maternal animals
General toxicity (maternal animals)
- Clinical signs:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- A blue coloration of faeces was noted in all animals of the groups receiving 40 mg/kg bw or more; moreover blue-green or grayish blue discolorations of the contents of the stomach and intestines were noted in a few animals of the 200 mg/kg group and in almost all animals of both sexes in the 1000 mg/kg group. These changes were caused by the colour of the test substance and merely indicated the passage through the gastrointestinal tract.
