not examined
Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Hepatic microgranulomas were observed in 9 control animals and 10 treated animals.

not examined
Other effects:
not specified
Details on results:
Results comparable between treated animals and controls.
Most parameters of treated animals were unchanged, remained in a physiological range or were modified in a similar way as in controls.
