11 Classifications of Manx cats.
The mean CR scores of the animals tested with classified chemicals cover in general the same range independently of the classification (Cat 2 or Cat 1) or the classification driver (Fig. 2a), which means that practically no distinction can be made between Cat 2 and Cat 1 chemicals on the basis of CR.
We followed Pocock's 1939 [16] taxonomic classification of subspecies for jungle cat and leopard cat.
Lastly, a grading system using a composite of left atrial size and various DE variables potentially useful in the functional classification of LV diastole in cats is introduced.
For this reason and because persistence of effects seems to play such an important role in the classification of a chemical as Cat 1 by the in vivo method, it may be necessary to have in vitro test methods capable of directly detecting persistence of effects.
In our analyses, iritis was found to rarely drive the classification of chemicals in vivo (both Cat 1 and Cat 2) on its own (<4 % of the chemicals from both NCD and RCD) (Tables 3, 5).
Its classification has been controversial because its physical traits resemble those of cats, yet other traits suggest a close relationship with viverrids (most civets and their relatives).
Wildlife experts said listing lions under the Endangered Species Act was likely to influence international classifications of the big cats.
Van Sprundel RGHM, Van Den Ingh TSGAM, Guscetti F, Kershaw O, Kanemoto H, Van Gils HM, Rothuizen J, Spee B: Classification of primary hepatic tumours in the cat, manuscript in preparation.
These two endpoints together account for the classification of more than 95%% of the Cat 2 chemicals in both the RCD and NCD, which again demonstrates the lack of weight of iritis, but also of conjunctiva chemosis, in the identification of Cat 2 chemicals with the current in vivo Draize eye test method.
