Five representative Sprague-Dawley rats were administered single doses of the indicated compounds; livers were analyzed at necropsy by histopathology. The incidence of microscopic findings and average severity, in brackets, of the findings are indicated. Findings were graded on a scale of 0 (absent), 1 (minimal), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), or 4 (marked).
