Remarks:
2.5%
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 25% w/w
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 2.0-2.3 mL/kg bw

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2.3 mL/kg bw




Doses:
5000 mg/kg bw administered as two doses due to the volume of test material of 2.0-2.3 mL each within 24h.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
