NOTES

Sprague~Dawley Rats were used. The application site was protected with a perforated circular plastic cup. % Absorption was calculated by adding together the amounts found in the urine + faeces + carcass + cage wash. The results were given as +/- SEM. I have changed these to SD for the database
