Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3

Details on study design:

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Mortality:

In both test groups no mortality occurred.

Clinical signs:

In the first administration group all animals showed impaired general state and piloerection from hour 2 until hour 5.
In all animals of the second administration group impaired general state and piloerection were observed from hour 1 until hour 4.

Body weight:

The mean body weight increased within the normal range throughout the study period with two exceptions in the second test group. Two animals did not gain weight properly in the second week.

Gross pathology:

There were no macroscopic pathological findings in the animals sacrificed at the end of the observation period.
