Any other information on results incl. tables

RS-Freetext:
There were NO DEATHS, and NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT TOXICOLOGICAL
 EFFECTS were found.

Serial sacrifices of 10 male and 5 female animals were made 
after 28 days.  The male animals in these groups showed mild
 but significant effects characteristic of light hydrocarbon
 nephropathy.  However, at 90 days the animals showed no 
evidence of kidney effects.

Clinical signs included HUNCHED POSTURE, LETHARGY and 
INTERMITTENT TREMOR.  No effects were evident from 
bodyweights, haematological and biochemical parameters, or 
from histopathology.
