NOTES

Adult female Fischer 344 Rats were used. The fur on the backs of the animals was removed with an electric animal hair clipper 24h prior to treatment. The treated area was protected by gluing a 5ml perforated plastic blister with cyanoacrylate glue. The rats were housed in metabolism cages equipped with devices for urine and faeces collection. The results were given as fractional penetration of the compound. This was found by divinding the % applied radioactivity recovered in the urine and faeces by the percentage radioactivity recovered. I have multiplied this back up to give the actual % recovered in the urine and faeces. The results were also gived +/- SEM. I have converted this to SD for the purpose of this database.
