Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

2-Ethylhexyl methacrylate produced a reversible effect (reduced heart rate and force of contraction) on the isolated heart at all three
concentrations; the coronary flow rate was increased in comparison to controls.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

2-ETHYLHEXYL METHACRYLATE at concentrations of 10-3, 10-4 and 10-5 (v/v) was investigated for activity upon isolated, perfused rabbit heart. 2-ETHYLHEXYL METHACRYLATE reduced heart rate, force of contraction, and increased coronary flow rate
