Title Hepatotoxicity of orally and intraperitoneally administered folpet in male rats
Bibliographic information May-June 1982, Vol.9, No.5-6, p.867-876. Illus. 15 ref.
Abstract An intraperitoneal (i.p.) LD50 of 68mg/kg was determined in rats. 50mg/kg i.p. significantly altered the levels of enzymes reflecting liver damage, while up to 10 times this dose produced no such effects or toxic symptoms when given orally. In vitro studies with rat liver microsomes are reported.
