Plasma and RBC ChE activitieswere measured in a separate experiment;Mild diarrhoea was reportedly treatment-related but <strong>the</strong>rewere no o<strong>the</strong>r adverse clinical signs. No treatment-relatedeffects on bodyweight gain or survival were reported.Cytoplasmic vacuolisation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> liver and adrenal cortexwas observed at increased frequency in low-dose (26%)and high-dose (38%) males compared to controls (14%).Adrenal cortical cytoplasmic vacuolisation was alsoobserved in high-dose males (26% compared to 6% incontrols) and low-dose females (34% compared to 9% incontrols).Non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pancreas wereobserved in both sexes. The incidence <strong>of</strong> acinarhyperplasia in treated groups <strong>of</strong> ei<strong>the</strong>r sex was notsignificantly different from <strong>the</strong> controls. When crosssectionaland horizontal sectional data were combined, <strong>the</strong>total incidence <strong>of</strong> adenomas was significantly higher(p
