Paclitaxel, an antineoplastic agent, was intravenously given to Crj:CD (SD) rats of both sexes at 0 (saline), 0 (vehicle), 0.3 (low dose), 1.0 (intermediate dose) and 3.3 (high dose) mg/kg at seven-day interval over a six-month period (total of 27 doses) to investigate its repeated dose toxicity. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. No deaths occurred in this study. Vehicle-related salivation was seen for some high dose and vehicle control rats. Soiling of the perigenital region was observed for some high dose females. 2. Red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit and white blood cell count were decreased for high dose rats. Reticulocyte count was increased and relative neutrophil count was decreased for high dose males. 3. Relative erythroid and myeloid cell count were decreased for high dose rats in bone marrow smear examinations. 4. Bone marrow hypoplasia and splenic hemosiderosis were observed for high dose rats, and thymic atrophy and lymphoid depletion were seen for some high dose males. Based on the these results, the no-toxic effect dose of paclitaxel was estimated to be 1.0 mg/kg in rats under this study condition.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D006486 Hemosiderosis Conditions in which there is a generalized increase in the iron stores of body tissues, particularly of liver and the MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTE SYSTEM, without demonstrable tissue damage. The name refers to the presence of stainable iron in the tissue in the form of hemosiderin. Hemosideroses
