F344 Rat (50/sex/group)

Water:

0, 14.3, 57.3, 172, 516 ppm sodium dichromate dihydrate;

equivalent to

0.200 0.796 2.10 6.07 mg Cr VI/kg-d (M)

0.248 0.961 2.60 7.13 mg Cr VI/kg-d (F)

7 d/wk, 104 wk

Time-weighted average daily doses are available in the study and endpoint list (denoted ADD).

Note: time weighted average daily doses, or mg/kg-d (ADD) represent the time weighted average over the course of 2 years using weekly consumption data from the NTP report. As a result, the nominal mg/kg-d, or the mg/kg-d (ADD) may not be accurate for animals with different observation times (ie, 4, days, 22 days, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months). At earlier time points, rodents ingested a higher dose due to greater water consumption during the growth period.
