Endpoint Studies
#1: Lesion in all major organs leading to mortality in cows .
#2: Nephrotoxicity (renal lesions)
#3: Lower liver, placental, and fetal weights in maternal rats, lower lung weight of fetuses from treated dams, moderate interstitial pneumonia.
#4: Hepatotoxicity - decreased hepatic volume, reduction in lobular size, hepatocellular necrosis, liver fibrosis in pigs
#5: Hepatotoxicity leading to mortality in goats that received 2g/kg daily doses of seeds for 35 and 150 days
#6: Hepatotoxicity leading to mortality in goat that received a single dose of 20g/kg of seeds. No effects in another goat that received a single dose of seeds at 10g/kg.
#7: Anorexia; gross lesions (extensive subcutaneous edema, ascites, and pulmonary edema). Livers were enlarged and hemorrhagic, and friable.
#8: Hepatotoxicity, nephrosis and chronic nephritis, gastritis and gastric ulceration in pigs
#9: Ascites and severe lesions of liver, kidney and lung in chicken
