Results and discussion

Details on results:
Clinical signs: Rats treated with the test item at 1/10 of its LC50, developed clinical symptoms, which were progressing by time marked distension of the abdomen. This was the only clinical symptom observed in rats after the first two weeks of treatment. In the third week, rats lost their vitality and activity. Some rats developed nervous manifestation and moved in circles. During the remaining weeks of the experiments, general weakness and cachexia were observed. The animals were reluctant to move and showed nervous manifestation and hurried respiration.
Body weight and organ weights: The substance caused a significant decrease in body weight of rats, increased liver weight but the kidney weight was decreased. In addition there was a slightly decrease in testicular weight as compared to the level in the control group.
Hematology: decreased Hb% (14.31 g/dl in the 1st week to 7.29 in the 3rd week), RBC count (5.11x10E6 celllmm in the 1st week to 2.8 x10E6 celllmm in the 3rd ), Hematocrite% (Hct%) (43% in the 1st week to 21% in the 3rd week ), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) (87Fl in the 1st week to 78Fl in the 3rd week), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCH) (28.03 pg in the 1st week to 26.3 pg in the 3rd week ) and platelets (430.36 x10E3 cell/min in the 1st week to 280.66 x10E3 cell/min in the 3rd week) except the leucocytes (WBCs) that showed significant increase
