Sample Use Guides

2-YEAR STUDY IN RATS: Groups of 50 male and 50 female rats were fed diets containing 0, 1,250, 2,500, or 5,000 ppm p-nitrotoluene (equivalent to average daily doses of approximately 55, 110, or 240 mg p-nitrotoluene/kg body weight to males and 60, 125, or 265 mg/kg to females) for 105 or 106 weeks. 2-YEAR STUDY IN MICE: Groups of 50 male and 50 female mice were fed diets containing 0, 1,250, 2,500, or 5,000 ppm p-nitrotoluene (equivalent to average daily doses of approximately 170, 345, or 690 mg/kg to males and 155, 315, or 660 mg/kg to females) for 105 or 106 weeks.
Route of Administration: Oral
p-Nitrotoluene (3.3 to 1,000 ug/plate) was not mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98, TA100, TA1535, or TA1537, with or without Aroclor-induced rat or hamster liver S9.
