Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
not specified
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality was observed.
Clinical signs:
Animals with intact skin: Diarrhoea was seen for animal 1 at days 9 and 10 and for animal 3 at days 4 to 8. Animal 5 had a bloated abdomen on day 13 and 14.
Animals with abraded skin: Diarrhoea was seen for animal 2 at day 5 and for animal 4 on days 5 to 14. On day 8 to day 10 animal 2 seemed to be slightly emaciated while animal 4 was emaciated on days 6 to 14. Animal 4 was also lethargic on days 10, 12, 13 and 14.
Body weight:
Over the whole study period mean body weight over all animals did not change.
Gross pathology:
no data
Other findings:
- Other observations:
Erythema (grade 1 or 2) was found in 9/10 animals, whereas edema (grade 1 or 2) was only observed in 3 animals.
