In order to evaluate the effect of different amounts of iron and manganese sulfates on wheat yield (Chamran cultivar), a factorial experiment based a randomized complete block design with three replications. The experiment treatments consisted of different concentrations of iron sulfate )Including; zero, 1500, and 3000 grams per hectare) and manganese sulfate (Including; zero, 1500, and 3000 gr...

this study was conducted to evaluate the bioavailability of nano and micro sources of manganese in broiler chickens. two hundred and eight, 10-d-old male ross 308 broilers in a completely randomized design with 13 treatments, 4 replications and 4 chicks per replicate were studied for 35 days. during the experimental period, a basal corn-soybean meal diet containing 20 ppm mn (control treatment)...

Manganese is an essential nutrient that also may be toxic at high concentrations. Subjects chronically exposed to manganese-laden dust in industrial settings develop neuropsychological changes that resemble Parkinson's disease. Manganese has been proposed as an additive to gasoline (as a replacement for the catalytic properties of lead), which has generated increased research interest in the po...

For nearly a century, manganese has been recognized as an essential nutrient for proper bone formation, lipid, amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism. While manganese deficiency is characterized by symptoms ranging from stunted growth and poor bone remodeling to ataxia, it is manganese toxicity that is far more devastating from a public health standpoint. Most cases of manganese toxicity are th...

UNLABELLED Several species of the bacterial genus Shewanella are well-known dissimilatory reducers of manganese under anaerobic conditions. In fact, Shewanella oneidensis is one of the most well studied of all metal-reducing bacteria. In the current study, a number of Shewanella strains were tested for manganese-oxidizing capacity under aerobic conditions. All were able to oxidize Mn(II) and to...

Nickel subsulfide, Ni3S2, alone or combined with manganese or chromium dusts, was administered i.m. to Fischer rats to study the effects of the metals upon Ni3S2 induction of sarcomas at the injection site. The incidence of sarcomas within 2 years after injection of Ni3S2 (1.2 mg) plus manganese (1.0 mg) was 7%, versus 77% in rats that received only Ni3S2 (1.2 mg), and 80% in rats that received...

Iron-responsive manganese uptake is increased in iron-deficient rats, suggesting that toxicity related to manganese exposure could be modified by iron status. To explore possible interactions, the distribution of intranasally-instilled manganese in control and iron-deficient rat brain was characterized by quantitative image analysis using T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Manganese ...

Human manganese superoxide dismutase is a mitochondrial metalloenzyme that is involved in protecting aerobic organisms against superoxide toxicity, and has been implicated in slowing tumor growth. Unfortunately, this enzyme exhibits strong product inhibition, which limits its potential biomedical applications. Previous efforts to alleviate human manganese superoxide dismutase product inhibition...

Introduction Manganese enhances MRI is increasingly used for exploring neuronal activity, tracing white matter tracts and for structural delineation of normal and pathological brain anatomy in animals in vivo [1]. Manganese is a Ca analogue and enters the cells via many different Ca channels. Depending on mode of administration different features of brain structure and function can be depicted....
