Group average water consumption for all study animals (n=6-11 per exposure group) at the end of study (PND 105-112) are given as g/kg body weight/day or g/animal/day (CEBS Table I07)
Values given are group averages estimated from water consumption and subsequently the vanadyl sulfate consumption and animal body weights using data from the final week of study (PND105-112) (CEBS Table I08)
Calculated using exposure concentration and 31% (w/w) vanadium in vanadyl sulfate
Calculated as vanadium concentration (mg/L) *water consumed (g/animal/day) and a solution density of 1 g/mL
Statistically significant at P <= 0.05.
Statistically significant at P <= 0.01. Statistical significance for a treatment group indicates a significant pairwise test compared to the vehicle control group. Statistical significance for a control group indicates a significant trend test
