Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
Growth is clearly slowed at 1% of lead carbonate in food.
During 9 weeks, weight of test mice were lower than controls as the concentration of lead carbonate increased. Moreover, cerebral mitochondrial cells accumulated lead consecutively to the lead carbonate concentration in food.
In vitro trials showed that lead accumulated in mitochondrial cells induced alteration, whereas in vivo results were ambiguous : lead is accumulated as an insoluble less toxic form thanks to a complexation with inorganic phosphate.
Applicant's summary and conclusion

- sligthly toxic
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: not specified
- Conclusions:
- In the conditions of the study, lead carbonate was found to be slightly toxic.
