Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results of examinations

Neuropathological findings:
effects observed, treatment-related
Details on results:
NEUROPATHOLOGY
The blood nerve-index (BNB) of rats exposed to lead was higher than that of pair-fed controls, and the difference increased within 52 wk

Any other information on results incl. tables

Because endoneurial protein changes are expected in lead neuropathy, it was important to determine if the elevated BNB-index was the result of a primary increase in endoneurial albumin concentration or of changes in endoneurial protein

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
It is clear that the elevated BNB-index was primarily the result of increased albumin concentration in the endoneurium of these lead-treated animals.The BNB-index can be used to evaluate blood-nerve barrier alterations quantitatively in animals models of neuropathy
