Effects of Dietary Manganese Contents on ^<54>Mn Metabolism in Mice

Several parameters of ^<54>Mn metabolism were noted in mice maintained on diets with manganese contents of 80 to 8000 mg/kg. Excretion of ^<54>Mn was promoted as the dietary manganese contents increased. Clearance of ^<54>Mn from the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and spleen was markedly accelerated by feeding mice a high-manganese diet, but clearance from the muscles, femurs, and brain was relatively insensitive to the dietary managanese. Manganese concentrations in the tissues were regulated homeostatically upto the dietary manganese content of 2400 mg/kg, but marked accumulations of manganese occurred when mice were given 8000 mg/kg diet. No toxic symptoms were found up to the 2400 mg/kg diet, but consumption of the 8000 mg/kg diet was less than for other diets. These results suggest that an oral intake of excess manganese is effective for promoting the excretion of ^<54>Mn from a body contaminated with this isotope.
