Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
intraperitoneal
Vehicle:
CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose)
Details on exposure:
The test substance was administered by i.p. administration of a 50% suspension (homogenized) in carboxymethycellulose 0.2% in water.
Doses:
1000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 or 10 females
Control animals:

Details on study design:
Five or 10 female Sprague-Dawley rats received a single oral dose of 1000 mg/kg bw of Lanthanum oxide i.p. as a 50% suspension in an aqueous solution of 0.2% carboxymethylcellulose. The animals were oberved for 30 days for clinical signs of toxicity and mortality.
