TEST ANIMALS
- Source: F. Winkelmann, 33178 Borchen
- Age at study initiation: about 6 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 154 - 179 g (range)
- Fasting period before study: yes, overnight (17 hours before - 4 h after treatment)
- Housing: the rats were housed in an air-conditioned room of ca. 25 m² in the Institute of Toxicology in Macrolon cages type III with a shelter, placed on mobile racks. Animals were kept on conventional softwool granulate as bedding which was changed 2x per week.
- Diet: Long Life for mice and rats, 9439 Eberle, Nafag, ad libitum
- Water: tap water from Makrolon drinking bottles, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 7 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20-21
- Humidity (%): 46-58
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

IN-LIFE DATES: From: 21 November To: 28 November 2001

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 20 mL/kg bw
Directly before the preparation the test metariel was solved in the vehicle using a shaking device (Vortex Genie)

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 20 mL/kg bw

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
The behaviour and general condition of all animals was monitored for at least 6 h after administration of the test material and then checked daily. All animals were weighed before treatment and on days 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, and 15 of the experimental part.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, all surviving animals were sacrificed at the end of the experimental period by CO2 asphyxia and subjected to gross pathological investigation.

Statistics:

Body weight data were recorded with the PC software "akudat", the statistical evaluation of the body weight were carried out with the software "Tox 511A", the body weight development of each rat and group was determined. The group mean value was calculated for each measurement.
