title: In vitro toxicity of n-hexane and 2,5-hexanedione using isolated perfused rabbit heart.
abstract: In vitro toxicity of n-hexane and 2,5-hexanedione using isolated perfused rabbit heart is reported. The hearts were perfused using Langendorf's procedure and modified Anderson's coronary perfusion apparatus. The force of cardiac contraction was significantly reduced following 1 h perfusion with 9.6 mg/l concentration of n-hexane and with 0.35% v/v concentration of 2,5-hexanedione.
