Levels of Evidence

Male Rats: Some Evidence
Type Organ/Tissue (Lesion)
Neoplastic Lesions
  • Thyroid Gland: C-cell adenoma (2/50, 5/49, 3/49, 12/50)
May Have Been Related
  • Lung: alveolar/bronchiolar adenoma or carcinoma (0/50, 2/50, 0/50, 3/50)
Non-Neoplastic Lesions
  • Lung: inflammation, chronic; fibrosis; hemorrhage
  • Liver: centrilobular, hepatocyte, hypertrophy; fatty change; eosinophilic focus
  • Kidney: severity of nephropathy
  • Nasal Cavity: exudate
