Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Clinical signs:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Laboratory findings:
Haematology/Blood Chemistry: No treatment-related changes in the haematological parameters measured. There were no
treatment-related changes detected in the blood chemical; parameters measured.

Effects in organs:
There were no treatment-related changes detected in the organ weights measured. Males treated with 500 mg/kg/day
showed a statistically significant reduction in absolute epididymides weight when compared with controls but, in the absence of a convincing dose-response relationship, this finding was considered to be incidental and of no toxicological significance.

There were no treatment-related macroscopic abnormalities detected at terminal kill.

Treatment-related kidney changes were observed. Three males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day demonstrated globular accumulations of eosinophilic material in the proximal tubular epithelium which should be regarded as a possible effect of treatment. This finding is consistent with the appearance of hydrocarbon nephropathy and is not considered to represent a hazard to human health.
No such effect was observed among 500 or 150 mg/kg/day animals.
Mortality:
no mortality observed
Haematological findings:
no effects observed
Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
There were no treatment-related changes detected in the organ weights measured. Males treated with 500 mg/kg/day showed a statistically significant reduction in absolute epididymides weight when compared with controls but, in the absence of a convincing dose-response relationship, this finding was considered to be incidental and of no toxicological significance.
Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
