Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

All animals survived until the end of the observation period. Incoordination was observed in one mouse from the high-dose group. A uniform drop in body temperature (approx. 2ºC) occurred 2 hrs post-dosing in the high-dose animals. There was no statistically significant increase in the frequencies of MN-PCE in groups treated with PDC when compared to the negative controls. In contrast, a significant increase in the frequency of MN-PCE was recorded in the positive control group. The mean proportion of PCE among bone marrow erythrocytes (200/animal) was unaffected by exposure to the test material while the positive control treatment significantly reduced this value.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
