<strong>of</strong> 2-year treatment period. No effects <strong>of</strong> treatment were observed on <strong>the</strong>ChE activity in brain cortex or brain stem at necropsy.Necropsy: Absolute and relative liver weights in males <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 100 and 500ppm group and females <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 500 ppm group were marginally higher thanthose <strong>of</strong> controls. This was reported as <strong>of</strong> 'borderline significance' but nodetails <strong>of</strong> statistical methodologies were provided. No o<strong>the</strong>r effects on organweight were observed. Pathology revealed a number <strong>of</strong> spontaneous lesions,with chronic bronchitis, pulmonary granulomas and renal granulomas <strong>the</strong>most common. These were unrelated to treatment. Rarefaction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>cytoplasm <strong>of</strong> hepatic cells, with cellular enlargement and thickening <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>cell wall, increased in incidence and severity with dose; graded as slight in1/3 females at 10 ppm and 1/3 males and 3/3 females at 100 ppm, and asmoderate in all 500 ppm dogs. There were no architectural changes to <strong>the</strong>liver. The hepatocellular effects were <strong>of</strong> such magnitude that liver functionwas not likely to have been affected, and serum liver enzymes revealed nohepatic damage. Two independent pathologists, blind to <strong>the</strong> experimentalprotocol, were reported to have not seen significant differences inhepatocytes between treated and control animals.• NOAEL =• LOAEL =• GLP:• Test Guideline:0.32 ppm (equivalent to: 0.008 mg/kg b.w./day);3.2 ppm (equivalent to 0.08 mg/kg b.w./day) based oninhibition <strong>of</strong> RBC ChE activity in males.No;No in<strong>for</strong>mation;• Reference source: Jolley PW, Stemmer KL & Pfitzer EA (1967) ―The effectsexerted upon beagle dogs during a period <strong>of</strong> two years by<strong>the</strong> introduction <strong>of</strong> Vapona® insecticide into <strong>the</strong>ir dailydiets.‖ Report/Study No. unspecified.
