312 ALIPHATIC BRANCHED-CHAIN SATURATED AND UNSATURATED ALCOHOLS<br />

dogs, 9 <strong>of</strong> them being tested in rats only and 1 <strong>of</strong> them being tested in mice only<br />

(see Table 3). In dogs and guinea-pigs, the oral LD50 values were 4680 and<br />

5897 mg/kg bw, respectively (Spealman et al., 1945). In mice, oral LD50 values<br />

ranged from >4550 to 5251 mg/kg bw (Lawrence et al., 1974; Ward, 1976; Moreno,<br />

1982). In rats, oral LD50 values ranged from >2000 to >10 000 mg/kg bw<br />

(Deichmann, 1941; Deichmann & LeBlanc, 1943; Spealman et al., 1945; Shelanski,<br />

1972; Moreno, 1976, 1977a, 1977b, 1978, 1980; Kajiura, 1977a; BASF, 1978;<br />

Moore, 2000; Klein, 2003). These LD50 values indicate that the acute toxicity <strong>of</strong> orally<br />

administered aliphatic branched-chain unsaturated and saturated alcohols,<br />

aldehydes, acids and related esters is low.<br />
