Result/Effects NOAEL /<br />
LOAEL<br />
level of absorption low and independent of gender and dose<br />
distribution to most tissues<br />
elimination via expired volatiles (parent) or metabolized via<br />
urine and faeces<br />
rate of elimination of radioactivity in tissues was the same as<br />
from plasma except of fat<br />
small dose-related effect on elimination on ♀ rats (more<br />
expired at the high dose compared to lower doses) suggesting<br />
saturation of metabolism at high doses<br />
absorption and distribution mimicked single exposure results<br />
rate of elimination of radioactivity in tissues was the same as<br />
from plasma except of fat and lung<br />
small dose-related effect on elimination route on ♀,♂ rats<br />
(larger quantities eliminated via lung, decreased quantities<br />
eliminated via faeces, urinary excretion constant at high compared<br />
to low dose) suggesting compensation of saturation<br />
effects through induction after repeated exposure<br />
F-344 rats retained significantly higher amount of radioactivity<br />
(8.3+0.44%) than SD (5.9+0.26%)<br />
excretion of radioactivity was similar in both strains in urine,<br />
faeces and expired volatiles<br />
different concentration of radioactivity in fat over time<br />
F rats showed a higher amount of radioactivity present as<br />
metabolites as compared to D4<br />
kinetic difference suggest important biochemical differences<br />
leading to a decreased metabolism of D4 in female SP rats<br />
