Subchronic toxicity of 222 nm ultraviolet irradiation in rats for safe human translation and application guidelines.

A significant decrease in body weight emerged earlier in females (week 3, * p < 0.05) than in males( week 4, * p < 0.05) .From week 5 onward in females and week 7 onward in males, the reductions became highly significant (** p < 0.01)and persisted until the end of the study (week12).

In the high-dose group, male rats showed a decreasing trend in body weight from weeks 8 to 12,although this was not significant (* p > 0.05).Symptoms are more pronounced in male animals, the observed weight reductions in the high-dose group are consistent with a dose-effect relationship.
