Long-Term Effects of Intragastric Instillations of Silastic 386 Foam Elastomer

摘要

Young male Sprague-Dawley rats (87 days old) were given a single dose (5 g/kg body weight (BW)) of Silastic 386 foam elastomer intragastrically (IG), and young female Swiss-Webster mice (83 days old) were given a single dose (5 g/kg BW) IG, or a dose (1 g/kg BW) IG on each of 5 consecutive days, of Silastic 386 foam elastomer. All animals were then maintained for the rest of their lives and autopsied at death. No significant effects resulting from the oral administration of this of this material were seen in any of the rats or mice. (ERA citation 07:048235)
