ADMINISTRATION / EXPOSURE
- Type: colony bred rats
- Strain: Swiss albino
- weight at study initiation: 100-120 g
- Type of exposure: single intratesticular or subcutaneous
injection.

- Duration of test/exposure: 7 days
- Vehicle: sterile distilled water
- Concentration in vehicle: not reported
- Total volume applied: 0.2 ml
- Doses: 0.08 mmole/kg bw

- Control: sterile distilled water. For intratesticular
injection the right testis served as control and the left
testis received the test substance.
