Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
No mortality occurred.
Clinical signs:
No signs of systemic toxicity or skin effects were observed.
Body weight:
The mean body weight of the animals increased within the normal range throughout the study period with two exceptions in the female group. One female lost weight and another one stagnated during the first week, but body weights were within the normal range during the second week.
Gross pathology:
No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted in the animals examined at the end of the study.
