In rats intoxicated with 2,5-hexanedione, nerve fibres supplying virtually all visceral organs showed large numbers of densely immunoreactive accumulations of neurofilament-like material, of fusiform, elongated, smoothly tapering morphology. In the gut, round to oval, morphologically different lesions were also present, and abnormal neurofilament-immunoreactive accumulations were revealed in oesophageal terminal end-plates. An extensive damage to autonomic nerve fibres, which are largely non-myelinated, was thus revealed in 2,5-hexanedione intoxication. The observed diversity in lesion morphology may suggest heterogeneity in cytoskeletal and/or associated proteins among autonomic neurons.
