the incorporation of tritiated thymidine, rather a<br />
reduction was observed.<br />
Without metabolic activation: Genmutations;<br />
Increases in gene mutations were observed in a very<br />
narrow dose range, reaching three-fold the negative<br />
control value at 75 mM KCl. Chromosomal<br />
aberrations; Up to 100 mM no significant increase<br />
in chromosomal aberrations compared to the control<br />
values, and at 150 mM KCl, the treatment was very<br />
toxic. Unscheduled DNA synthesis; No increase in<br />
the incorporation of tritiated thymidine, rather a<br />
reduction was observed.<br />

Test substance: as prescribed by 1.1-1.4, purity: commercial grade<br />
Remark:<br />
Groups of 50 male rats were exposed to KCl<br />
administered through the food. At the end of the 2<br />
year experimental period, the survival rates were<br />
64 % in 0.25 % KCl, 58 % in 1 % KCl, 84 % in 4 %<br />
KCl, and 48 % in control groups.<br />
Pathological non-tumerous and tumors lesions did<br />
not indicate any carcinogenic effects of KCl.<br />
Among non-tumerous lesions, nephrotic lesion was<br />
predominant in all groups. In tumerous lesions,<br />
testicular tumor (interstitial cell tumor)<br />
developed with a high incident in all groups.<br />
However, the incidence and type of tumor in<br />
experimental and control groups were comparable to<br />
