Irritant / corrosive response data:
An edema was not observed in all three animals during the observation period.
Other effects:
Systemic toxic effects did not occur after dermal application of the test substance. The general condition of the test animals was not affected.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The single application (4 hours, occlusive patch) of 0.5 g L-threonine feed grade to the intact skin of each of three rabbits caused very slight changes in two animals.
