Overall, manganese deficiency is not common, and there is more concern for toxicity related to manganese overexposure (see Safety). Manganese deficiency results in abnormal skeletal development in a number of animal species. In one set of studies, supplemental calcium (500 mg/day) slightly decreased manganese bioavailability in healthy adults. Manganese toxicity (manganism) is rarely encountered, yet it is important to recognize the consequence of occupational, accidental, or iatrogenic exposures to Mn. In the US, the EPA recommends 0.05 mg/L as the maximum allowable manganese concentration in drinking water (33). Bott S, Tesfamariam T, Candan H, Cakmak I, Römheld V, Neumann G. Glyphosate-induced impairment of plant growth and micronutrient status in glyphosate-resistant soybean (Glycine max L.). Intestinal absorption of manganese is increased during iron deficiency, and increased iron stores (ferritin levels) are associated with decreased manganese absorption (12). Relatively high levels of manganese ascorbate may be found in a bone/joint health product containing chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride (see Safety). 34. Hendler SS, Rorvik DR, eds. In its worst form, manganese toxicity can result in a permanent neurological disorder with symptoms similar to those of Parkinson's disease, including tremors, difficulty walking, and facial muscle spasms.  (PubMed), 24. el-Yazigi A, Hannan N, Raines DA.

Manganese (Mn) plays an important role in a number of physiologic processes as a constituent of multiple enzymes and an activator of other enzymes (2). Jane Higdon, Ph.D. 307 Linus Pauling Science Center The expression did not respond to the deficiency of Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu in both the roots and shoots (Fig. Severe neurological symptoms were reported in 25 people who drank water contaminated with manganese, and probably other contaminants, from dry cell batteries for two to three months (43). The dose of elemental manganese supplied by the supplements was 30 mg/day for eight weeks in one study (55) and 40 mg/day for six months in the other (54). Glutamate is an excitotoxic neurotransmitter and a precursor to an inhibitory neurotransmitter, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) (5, 6). 30. US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service. 2006;25(3):147-154. (PubMed). 1994;60(6):949-955. (PubMed), 14. Aschner M, Dorman DC. 2007;115(1):122-127. (PubMed). Manganese is a component of some enzymes and stimulates the development and activity of other enzymes. Fluid J. The impact of long-term exposure to low levels of MMT combustion products, however, has not been thoroughly evaluated and will require additional study (42). Biol Trace Elem Res. Manganese toxicity also frequently causes chlorosis (pale or yellowcolour), most severe on the younger leaves, due to an induced iron deficiency. Areas covered: In this review, the authors cover the molecular mechanisms of Fe/Mn-induced toxicity and neurological diseases, as well as the diagnosis and potential treatment. Sex affects manganese absorption and retention by humans from a diet adequate in manganese. Although manganese appears to play a role in glucose metabolism, there is little evidence that manganese supplementation improves glucose tolerance in diabetic or non-diabetic individuals. Two studies have found that supplements containing a combination of glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulfate, and manganese ascorbate are beneficial in relieving pain due to mild or moderate osteoarthritis of the knee when compared to a placebo (54, 55). It is essential for calcium absorption, normal brain and nerve function, digestive enzyme production, immune health, and blood sugar regulation. The mechanisms by which increased manganese levels can cause neuronal dysfunction and death are yet to be elucidated. Importantly, a low-manganese diet produced lower tissue manganese levels in the knock-outs and rescued the phenotype, suggesting that manganese toxicity was the underlying cause. 2020 Sep 2;12:580760. doi: 10.3389/fnagi.2020.580760. Kisasato Archives of Experimental Medicine.  (PubMed), 12. Finley JW. The rate of Fe translocated from roots to shoots in the 25.0 μM Mn (toxic) treatment was similar to the Feâdeficient treatment. Manganese is an essential trace element that is required for the activity of several enzymes. Mn deficiency is virtually unknown in human beings, apart from some reports of subclinical deficiencies, but the growing evidence for toxicity suggests PN supplementation remains too high. Nkpaa KW(1), Onyeso GI(2), Kponee KZ(3). 35. Davis JM. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. Manganese Deficiency Overall, manganese deficiency is not common, and there is more concern for toxicity related to manganese overexposure (see manganese toxicity). A child on long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN) lacking manganese developed bone demineralization and impaired growth that were corrected by manganese supplementation (17). In: Klimis-Tavantzis DL, ed. One study found blood manganese levels of individuals with epilepsy of unknown origin were lower than those of individuals whose epilepsy was induced by trauma (e.g., head injury) or disease, suggesting a possible genetic relationship between epilepsy and abnormal manganese metabolism. Environ Health Perspect. Can J Neurol Sci. Manganese balance and clinical observations in young men fed a manganese-deficient diet. Accessed 9/14/06. A manganese level of 20 to 40 ppm (mg kg â ) in plant tissue is sufficient for most plants. There is presently no evidence that the consumption of a manganese-rich plant-based diet results in manganese toxicity. Neurotoxicology. 43. 5. Wedler FC.

Although manganese insufficiency is not currently thought to cause the diseases discussed below, more research may be warranted to determine whether suboptimal manganese nutritional status contributes to certain disease processes. Chair, Department of Nutrition Our studies with primary astrocyte cultures have revealed that they are a critical component in the battery of defenses against manganese-induced neurotoxicity. Loss-of-function mutations in SLC30A10, a cell-surface-localized manganese efflux transporter, cause a heritable manganese metabolism disorder resulting in elevated manganese levels and parkinsonian-like movement deficits. Additional signs of manganese toxicity in domestic animals can include depressed growth, depressed appetite, and altered brain ⦠Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Copyright 2001-2021 Linus Pauling Institute, 1. Keen CL, Ensunsa JL, Watson MH, et al. Linus Pauling Institute Several other studies have found minimal effects of supplemental calcium on manganese metabolism (16). Infants are exposed to varying amounts of manganese depending on their source of nutrition. A study of older adults in Greece found a high prevalence of neurological symptoms in those exposed to water manganese levels of 1.8 to 2.3 mg/L (44), while a study in Germany found no evidence of increased neurological symptoms in people drinking water with manganese levels ranging from 0.3 to 2.2 mg/L compared to those drinking water containing less than 0.05 mg/L (45).

The brain is particularly susceptible to this excess manganese, and accumulation there can cause a neurodegenerative disorder known as manganism. The Linus Pauling Institute Micronutrient Information Center provides scientific information on the health aspects of dietary factors and supplements, food, and beverages for the general public. 15. Kies C. Bioavailability of manganese. The toxic effects of manganese in dogs [ 5] and humans [ 6] tend to involve the heart, liver, and nervous system, but some endocrine effects can occur. Manganese neurotoxicity: cellular effects and blood-brain barrier transport. Additionally, more recent studies have shown that children exposed to high levels of manganese through drinking water experience cognitive and behavioral deficits (46). Current Drinking Water Standards. Sci Total Environ. Neurotoxicology. 7. USA.gov. Animals (Basel). Because of potential toxicities, some argue against including manganese in parenteral nutrition (52). Manganese is required for the activation of prolidase, an enzyme that functions to provide the amino acid, proline, for collagen formation in human skin cells (8). 1991;15(3):333-340. (PubMed), 38. Han J, Lee JS, Choi D, et al. Manganese and epilepsy. 44. Manganese toxicity is more often a risk with people who mine and refine ore, but even low-level occupational exposure and contaminated foods (eg, infant formula) or water may be harmful. Manganese is also quite toxic when ingested in large amounts, such as the inhalation of Mn-laden dust by miners. Manganese supplementation beyond 100% of the DV (2 mg/day) is not recommended.Â, Originally written in 2001 by: Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins; 1999:283-303.

Dry matter yield was affected similarly by Fe deficiency and Mn toxicity. Pyruvate carboxylase, a manganese-containing enzyme, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), a manganese-activated enzyme, are critical in gluconeogenesis â the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors. Arginase, another manganese-containing enzyme, is required by the liver for the urea cycle, a process that detoxifies ammonia generated during amino acid metabolism (3). Heavy metal pollution in the environment and their toxicological effects on humans. However, none of the studies measured dietary manganese, so total manganese intake in these cases is unknown. A study in Montreal, where MMT had been used for more than 10 years, found airborne manganese levels to be similar to those in areas where MMT was not used (40). Manganese neurotoxicity has been observed in individuals receiving total parenteral nutrition, both as a result of excessive manganese in the solution and as an incidental contaminant (50).  (PubMed), 54. Das A, Jr., Hammad TA.
