EFFECT OF MANGANESE INTAKE UPON CONCENTRATION OF BISULFITE-BINDING SUBSTANCES IN BLOOD

Abstract
Bisulfite-binding substances were detd. in blood of rats grown on 3 low-Mn rations with and without Mn addition. The conc. of bisulfite-binding substances in blood of rats maintained on rations containing 0.3 and 0.4 p.p.m., respectively, of Mn was not affected by a 20-fold increase in the intake of this element. Rats consuming a ration low in Mg as well as in Mn contained in their blood a higher avg. conc. of bisulfite-binding substances than those fed a milk diet. This condition was not altered by supplementing the ration with a high intake of Mn, 500 p.p.m.
