SUPPLEMENTARY EFFECTS OF ARSENIC AND MANGANESE ON COPPER IN THE SYNTHESIS OF HEMOGLOBIN

Abstract
Rats responded to As supplements with increased concs. of Hb when fed a basal ration composed mainly of skim-milk powder and sucrose (or glucose) adequately fortified with Fe and Cu. Added Mn supplements resulted in increased synthesis of Hb and higher Hb concs. The combined effect of Mn and As upon the level of Hb was greater than that of either supplement alone. As supplements did not affect rate of body growth.
