Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Exposure to chromium carbide did not increase the LDH released.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Chromium carbide did not affect the inegrity of cells, as measured by LDH release.
Executive summary:

Mouse peritoneal macrophages were cultured for 2 days, after which they were exposed to chromium carbide particles dispersed in Dulbecco's minimum essential medium (DMEM) for 18 hours. At the end of the exposure, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was assessed by measuring enzyme activity in the cell-free medium. Exposure with chromium carbide did not increase the release of LDH.
