Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Haematological parameters slightly decreased with exposure to 750 mg/kg boric acid at 48 h but all values were not significantly different from controls. LDH and hepatocytes were unchanged. At low doses of boric acid levels of ALT, ALP and LDH as AST were unsignificantly decreased at 48 h.
