Any other information on results incl. tables

At 200 mg/kg in both genders diarrhea was observed. At 500 mg/kg in both genders decreased motility, uncoordinated gait, labored breathing and temporary tachypnea occurred. Additionally, in the females of this group the skin showed a good blood supply and one male (no. 11) lay in abdominal position. At 2,000 mg/kg females showed dazed condition, poor reflexes, temporary increased motility, uncoordinated gait, abdominal position, laboured breathing and temporary tachypnea, and the skin showed a good blood supply. The signs observed started 25 minutes after administration and lasted up to day 2 of the study.

There were no toxicological effects on body weights or on body weight development in males and females.

In animals that died during the observation period the following changes were detected:

Liver pale discolorations;

Lungs: slightly collapsed;

Spleen: dark-red discolorations;

Kidneys: pale discolorations

Animals killed at the end of the study period showed the following changes:

Thyroid glands: enlarged
