Elucidation of the effects of 2,5-hexandione as a metabolite of -hexane on cognitive impairment in leptin-knockout mice (C57BL/6-Lepem1Shwl/Korl).

Unlabelled: Exposure to n-hexane and its metabolite 2,5-hexandione (HD) is a well-known cause of neurotoxicity, particularly in the peripheral nervous system. To date, few studies have focused on the neurotoxic effects of HD on cognitive impairment. Exposure to HD and diabetes mellitus can exacerbate neurotoxicity.
