Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Details on results:
Clinical observations:
Mortality:

No mortality occured during the study period.


Clinical signs:

No clinical signs of toxicity were noted during the
observation period.


Functional observations:

Hearing ability, pupillary reflex, static righting reflex
and grip strength were normal in all animals.

Laboratory findings:
Haematology:

Haematological parameters of treated rats were considered
not to have been affected by treatment.


Clinical Biochemistry:

No toxicologically significant changes in clinical
biochemistry parameters were observed.

Effects in organs:
Macroscopic:

Macroscopic observations at necropsy did not reveal any
alterations that were considered to have arisen as a result
of treatment with the test substance.


Organ weights:

Organ weights and organ to body weight were considered to
have been unaffected by treatment.


Microscopic:

There were no microscopic findings recorded which could be
attributed to treatment with the test substance.

Comments:
An extra 5 animals per sex in the control and high dose
group (1000 mg/kg/day) were allowed 14 days of recovery.


No toxicologically significant changes in body weights and
body weight gain were recorded.


Food consumption before or after allowance for body weight
was similar between treated and control animals.
