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 />

Exposure period: 2 years<br />

Frequency of<br />

period:<br />

none<br />

Doses: 0.25, 1 and 4 % KCl, and 2 % KCl + 2 % NaCl, (110,<br />

through the food<br />

Result:<br />

Year: 1961 GLP: no data<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 />
