Description
Abstract Text
The objective of this project is to characterize dose-response
relationships and toxicity of scopolamine hydrobromide
administered by oral gavage to rats and mice in 2-year chronic
studies. Animals will be treated 5 days per week for 2 years.
Extra rats will be added to the study to assess potential
neurobehavioral effects at 1, 90, 180, 270, 360, and 720 days. In
addition, a simultaneous 2-year diet restriction study in mice with
a 65-week interim sacrifice for serum hormone and hematology
measurements will be performed. At the end of the study, all
core study animals will be given gross and microscopic
histopathologic evaluations. A 65-week interim sacrifice,
including hematology, histopathology, and plasma scopolamine
measurements (mice only), will be performed in the chronic study.
The results of these studies will be used by NTP to assess the
toxicologic and carcinogenic potential of exposure to scopolamine
hydrobromide.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
