Abstract:
The effects of long-term high manganese intake on the magnesium metabolism in rats were studied. One group of rats was fed a normal diet and the treated group received a normal diet and distilled water containing 2 g/litre manganese (as MnCl2). Metabolic studies showed that after 11 weeks of treatment, manganese supplementation modified magnesium metabolism by increasing urinary magnesium excretion and decreasing magnesium balance.
