Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Rats, Sprague Dawley origin (Hsd: Sprague-Dawley (CD))
- Source: Harlan U.K. Ltd., Bicester, Oxon, England
- Age at study start (day of dosing): 5 to 7 weeks.
- Weight at start (day of dosing): minimum 118 g, maximum 141 g.
- Fasting period: Overnight prior to dosing, until ca. 4 hours post administration.
- Housing: In groups of 3 by sex in metal cages with wire mesh floors.
- Diet: standard rodent diet (Special Diet Services RM1(E) SQC expanded pellet), ad libitum
- Drinking water : drinking water ad libitum
- Acclimation period: min. 5 days before dosing.

Routine analysis of the batch of diet used, water and chew blocks did not provide evidence of contamination that might have prejudiced the study.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

- Temperature (°C): 22 ± 3°C
- Relative Humidity (%): 40 to 70%
- Photoperiod (artificial lighting): 12 hrs day / 12 hrs night

There were no deviations from these ranges, which compromised the quality, integrity or outcome of the study.
