Any other information on results incl. tables

At the 0.75 ml/kg/day:

Two of the fifteen females were found dead during the first week of the study; based on an assessment of morphologic abnormalities, a cause of death was not determined. The remaining females and all fifteen males survived. The survivors in this group had decreased weight gains and increased water consumption, compared to the control values. Histopathology of the kidneys of the females revealed focal mineral deposits. Severe, reversible skin irritation was seen at the dose site of all 0.75 ml/kg/day animals. Histopathology of the site of topical application of THBA revealed surface accumulation of inflammatory cells/cell debris and/or necrotic debris, squamous cell hyperplasia, hyperkeratosis, dermal necrosis and ulcers and acute to subacute-chronic inflammation, edema and hypertrophy/hyperplasia of sebaceous glands. No evidence of THBA induced toxicity was seen in the feed consumption, physical evaluations, neurobehavioral studies, hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis or organ weight values of these animals.

At 0.25 ml/kg/day:

All 0.25 ml/kg/day animals survived to the end of the treatment period, and were free of test material related clinical signs. However, mild to moderate skin irritation was seen at the dose site; histopathology of the dose site revealed changes similar to those seen in the 0.75 ml/kg/day group but were less severe. Histopathology of the kidneys (females only) also revealed changes which were similar to those seen in the 0.75 ml/kg/day group, but were less severe. No evidence of THBA induced toxicity was seen in the body weights, feed consumption, water consumption, neurobehavioral studies, hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis or organ weight values of the 0.25 ml/kg/day animals.

At 0.10 ml/kg/day:

There were no treatment-related deaths in the 0.10 ml/kg/day animals, and all animals were free of clinical signs and significant skin irritation. Histopathology of the dose site revealed changes similar to those seen in the 0.75 ml/kg/day group but were minimal to slight in severity. No evidence of THBA induced toxicity was seen in the body weights, feed consumption, water consumption, neurobehavioral studies, hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis or organ weight values of the 0.10 ml/kg/day animals. Except for the skin lesions discussed previously, there were no significant microscopic changes seen in these animals which could be attributed to administration of THBA.
