Young male rats were administered monocrotaline (MCT) ad lib in the drinking water (22 .mu.g/ml) for up to 28 days, and the development of toxicity in lung, liver and kidney was examined. Clearance of perfused 5-hydroxytryptamine by isolated lungs of treated rats was decreased as early as 14 days. This was accompanied by increases in lung/body weight ratio and in lactate dehydrogenase activity in cell-free bronchopulmonary lavage fluid. Hypertrophy of the right heart and increased inflow perfusion pressure of isolated lungs were apparent by 21 days of MCT treatment. The magnitude of the changes in all parameters increased with duration of treatment. After 28 days of treatment biliary indocyanine green excretion was decreased and plasma glutamic pyruvic transaminase acitivty was slightly elevated. Treatment (28 days) also resulted in elevated blood urea N, decreased accumulation of p-aminohippuric acid by kidney slices and increased accumulation of tetraethylammonium by kidney slices. Lung, liver and kidney were each affected by this MCT treatment regimen and functional effects on lung preceded effects on other tissues.
