BACKGROUND Manganese is an essential element, but excessive manganese exposure has neurotoxic effects. OBJECTIVE To examine blood manganese levels in the general population with respect to sex, age, race/ethnicity, pregnancy and menauposal status, as well as levels of trace elements in blood. METHODS We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a national survey o...

The essential trace elements zinc and manganese have been noted as factors in brain disease since the Twenties. The combined use of zinc and manganese in schizophrenia is based on: 1) Increased urinary excretion of copper when both zinc and manganese are given orally 2) Zinc alone causes a decrease in blood manganese and 3) The double deficiency of zinc and manganese frequently is found in pati...

Manganese dioxide was laden hooked on biochar sourced from chicken feather to obtain a biochar-supported manganese (BSM) composite. In order reduce the costs of acquisition and minimise disposal adsorbents, prepared BSM composite were employed in sequestration Levofloxacin (LEVO) aqueous environment. The physico-chemical features adsorption mechanisms BSM, prior after LEVO molecules revealed by...

this study was conducted to evaluate the relative bioavailability value of mn proteinate and mn oxide in broiler chicks. a total of 432 day-old cobb 500 commercial male broiler chicks were randomly distributed into nine treatments with eight replicate pens of six chicks each. in a completely randomized design experiment with a 2×4 factorial arrangement of two manganese sources (proteinate and r...

There is considerable evidence that the prion protein binds copper. However, there have also been suggestions that prion protein (PrP) binds manganese. We used isothermal titration calorimetry to identify the manganese binding sites in wild-type mouse PrP. The protein showed two manganese binding sites with affinities that would bind manganese at concentrations of 63 and 200 mum at pH 5.5. This...

The color of dye aqueous solution which cannot be removed by coagulation was selected to decolourize it through adsorption process using novel adsorbents namely Flocs Ferric Sulphate, Aluminium sulphate and Manganese sulphate. In order know efficacy adsorbents, batch sorption studies equilibrium were conducted. Good removal achieved with at pH::4 Sulphate pH::10, will applicable reduce the indu...
