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 comproportionation reaction between Mn(II) and Mn(VII) reagents under acidic conditions has been investigated in the presence of pivalic acid as a route to new high oxidation state manganese pivalate clusters containing some Mn(IV). The reaction of Mn(O(2)CBu(t))(2) and NBu(n)(4)MnO(4) with an excess of pivalic acid in the presence of Mn(ClO(4))(2) and NBu(n)(4)Cl in hot MeCN led to the iso...

In the title compound, [Mn(3)(C(8)H(4)O(4))(3)(C(14)H(8)N(4))(2)](n), one Mn atom is located on an inversion centre and is six-coordinated by four carboxyl-ate O atoms from different benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl-ate (1,4-bdc) ligands and two phenanthrene N atoms from a dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine ligand. The other Mn atom is also six-coordinate, binding to six carboxyl-ate O atoms from different...

Four isostructural, two-dimensional (2D) grid-type coordination polymers bridged by carboxylate groups, namely [Co(8-qoac)(HCOO)] (1 x Co), [Mn(8-qoac)(HCOO)] (1 x Mn), [Co(8-qoac)(CH3COO)] (2 x Co) and [Mn(8-qoac)(CH3COO)] (2 x Mn) (8-qoacH = quinoline-8-oxy-acetate acid), were constructed to study the modulation effects of spin carriers and interlayer interactions on the magnetic behaviours. ...

In the title compound, [Mn(C(14)H(8)O(4))(C(13)H(8)N(4))](n), the Mn(II) atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by four O atoms from three different carboxyl-ate groups and two N atoms from one imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline mol-ecule. The organic ligands link inorganic Mn(II) nodes, forming a zigzag chain along the c axis.

This study is aimed at exploring the effects of Bacillus coagulans NRS 609 on growth performance, intestinal health, antioxidant activity, and immune response in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) by colonizing tract with beneficial strain. Gavage B. GFP-tag 109 CFU/mL into for 7 days. Results indicated that were maintained intestine least 14 Four groups fed different levels inclusion, including ...

Mixed-valent manganese phosphonate clusters [Mn(II)(8)Mn(III)(2)O(2)(O(3)PC(10)H(7))(4)(C(6)H(5)CO(2))(10)(py)(4)(H(2)O)(2)] (1) and [Mn(II)(4)Mn(III)(9)O(4)(OH)(2)(O(3)PC(10)H(7))(10)(C(6)H(5)CO(2))(5)(py)(8)(H(2)O)(6)] (2) are reported. Compound 1 is the first example of manganese phosphonate clusters prepared through a microwave-assisted technique. While compound 2 is obtained under ambient ...

Because manganese (Mn) is potentially toxic, and because dietary fat type may affect Mn absorption, the objectives of the current study were to determine whether diets containing very low or very high amounts of Mn and enriched in either saturated or unsaturated fats affected measures of neuropsychological and basic metabolic function. Healthy young women were fed for 8 wk each, in a crossover ...
