Popis: Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is a commonly used plasticizer in polyvinylchloride (PVC)-derived plastic. Mono(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (MEHP), the major metabolite of DEHP, had a reversible, concentration-dependent (15-200 micrograms/ml) negative inotropic effect on a human in vitro atrial trabecular isometric preparation with an IC50 of 85 micrograms/ml. When atropine (22-32 micrograms/ml) was included in the atrial preparation the IC50 was shifted to greater than 120 micrograms/ml, suggesting that MEHP acts in part through the cholinergic receptors.
