랫드와 마우스에서 폴리(아크릴산 소다-아크릴산)의 급성 경구 독성 시험에 관한 연구
Acute Toxicity Study of Poly(sodium acrylic acid-acrylic acid) in Rats and Mice
초록
랫드와 마우스에서 고흡수성 중합체인 폴리(아크릴산소다-아크릴산)의 급성경구 독성시험을 수행하였다. 본 시험물질을 최고 10 g/kg까지 corn oil에 현탁하여 1회 경구투여하고 2주간 관찰한 결과, 사망사례가 없었으며 일반적인 임상증상 관찰시 특기할 만함 독성증상이 나타나지 않았고, 체중변화도 대조군과 유의성있는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 부검후 각 장기의 육안적 관찰 결과도 이상소견이 없었다. 따라서 본 실험에 사용한 폴리(아크릴산소다-아크릴산)은
The acute toxicity of orally administered poly(sodium acrylic acid-acrylic acid), powerfully water-absorbent polymer, was el'aluated in Sprague-Dawley rats and feR mice. Rats and mice aging 6 weeks were gavaged with 0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.4, 6.7, or 10 g of poly(sodium acrylic acidacrylic acid)/kg in com oil. No animal died by treatment and any toxic symptom was not observed in the treated animals during 2 weeks. The body weight of the treated animals was not significantly different from the controls. The results of macroscopic examination on the organs of the treated animals revealed no abnormal findings. Therefore, it was concluded that poly(sodium acrylic acidacrylic acid) was practically non-toxic when it was orally administrated to rats and mice up to 10 g/kg, and its
