Table 1.

Tabulated histopathological score of tissue. Sections were scored for pathological abnormalities on a scale 0–5. A score of 5 indicates the most severe pathology, whereas 0 indicates no noteworthy findings or within range of background. A total of 24 male mice (10-weeks old) received a single dose by oral gavage of vehicle (n = 10) or raspberry ketone (RK; 640 mg/kg; n=14). 4 days post-treatment 6 mice died. No noteworthy findings were found in the vehicle treated animals. Of the 8 mice that survived, 3 were euthanized on Day 2 and 5 were euthanized on Day 4.
