摘要: The neurotoxicity ofn-hexane is thought to be caused ultimately by 2,5-hexanedione (2,5-HD), one of then-hexane metabolites. potentiation co-exposure with MEK, therefore, suspected related kinetics 2,5-HD in blood. To clarify the metabolites mixed exposure and rats were exposed 2000 ppmn-hexane or a mixture ppm time courses serumn-hexane determined. serum increased until 2 h after end exposure, when concentration reached peak 16.35 μg/ml then-hexane-alone group. In contrast, group much more slowly during than It 2.12 at 8 exposure. Serum MBK, precursor group, was about half However, MBK decreased results suggest that co-exposed MEK might inhibit oxidation decrease clearance Co-exposed did not increase 2,5-HD, which considered main neurotoxic metabolite. Therefore enhancement could attributed mechanism should studied further.
