no effects observed
Gross pathological findings:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
2% and 1 % in the diet: at 24 months minor hyperplasia of the stratified squamous epithelium with excess keratin formation of the cardiac mucosa of the stomach
Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
not specified
Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
no effects observed
Details on results:
CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY: At 1, 3 and 6 months, no significant differences were observed in mortality.

BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN: At 1, 3 and 6 months, no significant differences were observed in body weight gain.

HAEMATOLOGY: At 1, 3 and 6 months, no significant differences were observed in haematology.

GROSS PATHOLOGY: At 24 months, the only consistent difference that could be attributed to the test article was minor hyperplasia of the stratified squamous epithelium with excess keratin formation of the cardiac mucosa of the stomach in rats receiving the highest exposure to the test article (group 1: 2% in the diet after 6 months, group 3: 1% in the diet).

OTHER FINDINGS: No significant differences were observed in fertility in the 2 year study.
