Manganese deficiency or dietary manganese(III) oxide nanoparticle supplementation: consequences for hematology, and intestinal and brain immunity in rats
Abstract: IntroductionThe study aimed to determine the effect of manganese (Mn) exclusion from the mineral mixture added to the rat diet and replacing the recommended level of MnCO3 (65 mg Mn/kg diet) with Mn2O3 nanoparticles (Mn2O3NPs) in the diet on blood hematology and selected immunological indices of the blood, jejunum, and brain.MethodsThe experiment was conducted on twenty-four, Wistar rats divided into 3 equal groups. The control (K) group received a diet containing 65 mg/kg of additional Mn originating from the…

“…Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element required for normal CNS function, playing key roles as a cofactor in several enzymes involved in antioxidant defense, neurotransmitter synthesis, and energy metabolism [ 35 ]. Notably, manganese is vital for the activity of mitochondrial SOD (Mn-SOD), arginase, and glutamine synthetase, which are critical for mitigating oxidative stress and supporting neuronal metabolism [ 61 ]. However, manganese exhibits a narrow therapeutic window, and excessive accumulation in the brain, particularly within the basal ganglia, can lead to neurotoxicity.…”
