NOTES

Male Fischer 344 Rats were used. The cells were occluded with Teflon caps 2.9cm above the skin surface. The dose applied was between 5 and 10 mcl. Dosing levels ranged from 20.1-39.4 mcg/cm2. % Penetrated has been calculated by adding together the amount found in the receptor fluid and the amount found in the skin.
