Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Fairly recent work with clear objectives, description and results (not all results and no individual results presented). None guideline study and not GLP, but well designed to meet its objectives.

Results and discussion

Mortality:
none
Clinical signs:
other: not reported
Gross pathology:
not reported
Other findings:
Histopathological examination and measurement of liver: body weight, serum enzymes, hepatic NPSH levels ad G-6-Phase activity did not reveal hepatocellular damage at any dosage level.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
A single bolus administration of up to 4 g/kg body weight to the male rat was not associated with mortality or any indication of liver damage.
Executive summary:

In an acute study designed primarily to assess effects on the liver, a single bolus administration of up to 4 g/kg body weight to the male rat was not associated with mortality or any indication of liver damage. The animals were observed for 24 hours after administration.
