In the present study, the effects of prenatal manganese (Mn) intoxication on the anxiolytic-like effects of diazepam and the 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist R-(+)-8-hydroxy-dipropylaminotetralin (8-OH-DPAT) were examined.Wistar dams were exposed to MnCl(2).4H(2)O at 5,000 ppm in the drinking water for the duration of pregnancy. On the day of parturition, Mn was discontinued as an additive in the drin...

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of Mn concentration on the structural, magneticand optical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles. TiO2 nanopowders with Mn concentration of 0%,0.2%, 1% and 5% were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The structural, surface morphologyand average crystal grain size, optical, magnetic properties and chemical compounds of thesamples are studied using XRD, FE-...

in this study, bis(salicylaldehyde)-4-methyl-1,2-phenylenediimine (bsmp) as a schiff base ligand of n2o2-type and its mn and fe complex as m-bsmp catalyst were synthesized and characterized by uv-vis, ir spectroscopy and elemental analysis. the efficiency of fe- and mn-bsmp catalysts was evaluated in the oxidative decarboxylation of arylacetic acids with tetra-butylammonium periodate (n-bu4nio4...

The in vitro autoxidation of N-hydroxyurea (HU) is catalyzed by Mn(III)TTEG-2-PyP(5+), a synthetic water soluble Mn(III) porphyrin which is also a potent mimic of the enzyme superoxide dismutase. The detailed mechanism of the reaction is deduced from kinetic studies under basic conditions mostly based on data measured at pH = 11.7 but also including some pH-dependent observations in the pH rang...

Developmental exposure to manganese (Mn) or stress can each be detrimental to brain development. Here, Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to two housing conditions and Mn from postnatal day (P)4-28. Within each litter two males and 2 females were assigned to the following groups: 0 (vehicle), 50, or 100 mg/kg Mn by oral gavage every other day. Half the litters were reared in cages with standard b...

This study collects information from absorption and luminescence excitation spectra recorded for Mn atoms isolated in the solid rare gases Ar, Kr, and Xe and presents an analysis of the site occupancy, based on the polarizabilities of the rare gases and the observed spectral shifts. Two thermally stable sites of isolation exist for atomic Mn in solid Ar and Kr, while a single thermally stable s...

The title compound, [Mn(C(3)H(7)NO)(6)][Cr(NCS)(5)(C(3)H(7)NO)], was obtained unintentionally as a product of an attempted synthesis of heterometallic complexes based on Reineckes anion using manganese powder, Reineckes salt and 1-(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)tetra-zole as starting materials. The crystal structure of the complex consists of an [Mn(dmf)(6)](2+) cation and a [Cr(NCS)(5)(dmf)](2-) anion (dm...
