Examinations

Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
Animals weighed and their food consumption measured weekly. Periodic check for abnormal blood elements and urine elements made on high level groups and control.
Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
Certain organs weighed (body, liver, heart, spleen, kidneys, gonads); certain organs examined microscopically (heart, lung, spleen, liver, pancreas, stomach and intestine, mesenteric lymph nodes, salivary glands, thyroid, kidney, urinary bladder, ovary or testis, uterus or prostate, bone and bone marrow)

Results and discussion

Results: P0 (first parental generation)

General toxicity (P0)

Clinical signs:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Reduced weight gain at the highest level (1%), but no changes in weights of liver, heart, spleen, kidneys or gonads, and no histopathological changes. The reduced weight gain is likely to be due to the unpalatibility of teh bitter iso-alpha acids.

Details on results (P0)

Reduced weight gain at the highest level (1%), but no changes in weights of liver, heart, spleen, kidneys or gonads, and no histopathological changes. The reduced weight gain is likely to be due to the unpalatibility of teh bitter iso-alpha acids.
