Abdo (1994) reported on the effects of administering sodium selenate in the drinking water for 13 weeks. It was estimated that the "no-observed adverse level" in rat was 0.4 mg/kg per day of sodium selenate for 13 weeks. Doses of 0.6 mg/kg or 1.1 mg/kg per day for 13 weeks caused changes in mortality, body weight depression, decreased water consumption, and renal papillary lesions. However, these were chronic studies so that rats received a total dose of 54.6 mg/kg or 100.1 mg/kg sodium selenate over 13 weeks.
