a.i., actual intake; TDL, target dose level.

Total dose per day (mg a.i.) = [BW (kg)] × [TDL (mg NBPT/kg BW)]. Total dose per day (mg) = [BW (kg)] × [[TDL (mg NBPT/kg BW)]/purity (97.6%)].

aThe amount of NBPT for each animal’s daily dose was calculated based on the average BW of the dose group from the previously completed week.

bValues taken from Table 8.

cBased on 97.6% purity in the test substance.
