Any other information on results incl. tables

Clinical observations: There were no clinical observations noted that could be indicative of treatment to the product. One female died in week 1 of an intubation error. This death considered to be accidental.

Laboratory findings: Neutrophils were increased in top dose males. Decreases in alkaline phosphatase and AST were seen in top dose males and mid and top dose females, respectively. All were normal after 2 weeks recovery.

Effects in organs: No treatment-related gross or microscopic changes were observed.
