Groups | 5 Days Treatment, i.p. Lead Dose (mg/kg) | Percentage of Lead Acetate Trihydrate LD50 (%) |
---|---|---|
Control | DW | |
A | 25 | 12.50 |

C | 100 | 50.00 |
The control group was treated with daily intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of distilled water (DW) for five days. Treatment groups A, B and C were given 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg of lead acetate trihydrate, respectively.
