aNOAEL = no observed adverse effect level.
bLOAEL = lowest observed adverse effect level.
cED20 = dose causing emesis in 20% of the animals tested.
dED50 = dose causing emesis in 50% of the animals tested.
eED80 = dose causing emesis in 80% of the animals tested. ED20, ED50, and ED80 values were determined using a Proc Probit model.
