We reported previously that 2,5-hexanedione (2,5-HD), the neurotoxic metabolite of methyl-n-butylketone (MnBK) and n-hexane, induced aggregation of intermediate filaments of the vimentin type in cultured fibroblasts. To determine if these findings have relevance to the mechanism by which these hexacarbons
