Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality occurred.
Clinical signs:
other: Piloerection, hunched posture, and dyspnea were seen, being common symptoms in acute tests. Additionally, reduced locomotor activity was observed in all animals. The animals recovered within 4 to 5 days.
Gross pathology:
No deviations from normal morphology were found.
