During a two-year carcinogenicity study on an agrochemical compound, histopathological evaluation showed necrosis and moderate inflammation in the brain of a female Wistar rat. The study was performed under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines.Four hundred and sixty Wistar/NIN rats (230 males and 230 females) were divided into four groups and housed five per cage in polypropylene cages with stainless steel grill lids under standard husbandry conditions (room temperature 18–21 C, relative humidity 40–70%, light: dark cycle of 12 h: 12 h). They received small, round masses of feed (prepared by mixing the test substance with powdered diet from Amrut Laboratory Animal Feed, Pune, India) and filtered, ultraviolet-treated water ad libitum. The test substance was administered at doses of 0, 10,000, 20,000 and 40,000 ppm over a 2-year period. Rats were obtained from the International Institute of Biotechnology and Toxicology (Tamil Nadu, India) breeding colony.
