The median lethal feeding periods were determined to be 2.10 and 2.33\u00a0days for male and female rats, respectively. Toxicity symptoms included bleeding from the nose, gums, and feet. While no significant effects were observed on body weight or organ weights, food consumption decreased notably in no-choice tests. Additionally, significant increases in prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time were noted 24\u00a0h post-treatment in the no-choice tests, with post-treatment international normalized ratios of 9.45\u201314.20 and 1.52\u20133.03 in the no-choice and the bi-choice tests, respectively.
