Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Details on oral exposure:

The test item was administered orally by gavage to rats fasted over night prior to dosing. After dosing diet was witheld for 4 more hours. Dosing in the study took place on July 4th, 2007 between 7:10 and 7.20 am and on July 10th, 2007 between 9:00 and 9.10 am.
The study was carried out with two groups consisting of three female animals each given a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. The start of the first group was on July 3rd, 2007. The start of the second group was on July 9th, 2007.
The dose volume administered was 10 mL/kg bw.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

2 dose groups of 3 females per dose group

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

Neither animals of the first group nor of the second group died on account of the treatment nor did they show severe signs of toxicosis.

Clinical signs:

other: First group; female: Animals No.1, No.2 and No. 3 showed piloerection 30 min and 2 hours after the application of the test item. After 4 hours and 6 hoursas well as from day 1 to the end of the observation period on day 14 no abnormalities were observed.

Gross pathology:

The gross necropsy revealed no pathological abnormalities.
