NOTES

The rats were all female and weighed ~ 150g. A Silicone O ring was used to hold the dose, covered by a non-occlusive glass cover. % Absorption was calcculated from the sum of the amounts found in the urine (0.88) + faeces (11.84) + blood (0.02) + carcass (7.72). They also studied the metabolism of Triclosan by HPLc but that data is not included in this database.
