- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
Two animals died shortly after administration due to incorrect gavage shown by lungs filled with blood. Only a few clinical observations (e.g. ruffled fur, slight squatting position, slight nose bleeding) were made and considered to be substance independent and were made only for a short period of time. None of the animals showed any alterations of their general state of well-being and behaviour at any observation period.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
Not affected by the test compound.
FOOD CONSUMPTION
Not dose-dependently influenced by the test compound.
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION
No alterations were observed in any animal during the study period.
HAEMATOLOGY
Female animals in the low- and high dose group showed an increased erythrocyte count and decreased packed cell volume. These significant differences were in the normal ranges of values for the strain used.
The prothrombin time showed a dose-dependent increase in male animals, which was significant in the high-dose male group. At the end of the recovery period, no differences were observed in the satellite group. Due to a low prothrombin time in male controls it was assumed by the authors that the significance was not substance-dependent, but accidental. Increased fibrinogen concentration in females of the high-dose group was observed. The increase was not seen after the recovery period. The increase was therefore considered as caused by the administration of the test article (see Table 1 under "Any other information on results incl. tables").
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
Activity of alkaline phosphatase was dose dependently increased in the male and female animals and was significantly increased in the animals of the high dose group (see Table 1 under "Any other information on results incl. tables"). After the recovery period normal activity was apparent. The activity of aspartate aminotransferase was dose dependently decreased in male animals of all groups. The values in the satellite groups of control and high dose animals were in the same range as the previous significant values of the male animals. Therefore and because the value of the control was relatively high, it was assumed that the significance was not substance-dependent, but accidental. Serum urea nitrogen was increased in female animals of the high dose group and in the mid- and high-dose males. The creatinine content was significantly increased in all male and the high dose group of female animals. The phosphorus content was significantly increased in all female animals and the sodium content was dose dependently decreased in male animals. These effects were not observed after the recovery period. The observed effects on the serum urea, creatinine and phosphorus content were considered to be substance-related.
Significant differences of the glucose and calcium levels were considered to be incidental due to small, not dose-dependent differences.
All other clinical-biochemical parameters investigated were unaffected.
NEUROBEHAVIOUR
No changes in grip strength, motor activity and sensory response were observed during the study period in any animal.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
Absolute and relative kidney weights were increased in all male animals and statistically significant increased in the high dose group which was still present after the recovery period (see Table 2 under "Any other information on results incl. tables"). Absolute and relative liver weights were increased in both sexes and statistically significant increased in females of the high dose group. This increase was no longer apparent after the recovery period in females. The increase of the weights of the liver was considered to be in accordance with the lipopexia in the liver cells. Other significant differences (adrenals, brain, epididymides, heart, ovaries and thymus) seemed to be incidental.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
No substance-dependent changes were observed in the animals.
HISTOPATHOLOGY
Intracellular lipid droplets in hepatocytes of the female animals in the high- and mid-dose group (5-90% of the observed area) with cell lesions were clearly caused dose-dependently by the test article. The degree of severity was classified in 4/10 animals as low, in 4/10 as moderate and in 2/10 as severe in both groups.
There was no special localization of the changes of hepatocytes in the liver lobules. In most cases only low grade intracellular lipopexia occurred in the male animals. No markedly degenerated hepatocytes or intracellular fat droplets were observed in the satellite groups.
Other histological findings were observed such as:
Stomach: oesophagal part and cardia with multilayered squamous epithelium, leukocyte infiltration in the submucosa and fibrous repair, fibrotic regions in the submucosa of the glandular stomach
Lungs: atelectactic and emphysemic areas
Thymus: partial substitution of the parenchyma by fibrinogenesis
Skin: benign fibrous proliferation
Sciatic nerve: thickening of the perineurium and thickening of the adventitia of the vessels.
No histological changes on ovaries, uterus, testes and epididymis were reported in any animal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The correlated deposition of intracellular fat and fatty degeneration of the hepatocytes, the increased weights of the liver in females, and the increased activity of alkaline phosphatase identified the liver as the target organ. The clinical-biochemical findings and the irreversible increase of the kidney weights in males indicated an effect on the kidney without any histological correlation, as well.
Except for the increased kidney weights in males, all changes were no longer apparent at the end of the treatment-free period.
Therefore, the results indicated a NOAEL of 300 mg/kg bw/day.
