Manganese
Manganese is important for bone structure, CNS function and a whole range of enzymes (pyruvate carboxylases, SOD, kinases, decarboxylases...).
Function[edit | edit source]
It participates in the process of oxidative phosphorylation , thereby interfering with fat metabolism → highest concentration in cells – in mitochondria.
Source[edit | edit source]
Sources of manganese are oatmeal, whole grain bread, tea and cocoa. The estimated daily requirement (recommended dose cannot be determined) is 2-3 mg[1]. It is excreted in bile
Deficit[edit | edit source]
The deficiency is exceptional, it can cause an increase in the level of blood lipids and associated premature atherosclerosis. Dermatitis or digestive disorders can also occur.
Toxicity[edit | edit source]
In the 19th century, it manifested itself in miners - "manganese madness" - mental disorders, parkinsonism.
