Remarks:
Although a brief communication, this is an important mechanistic study with results that suggest that iron homeostasis may play an important role in the regulation of manganese transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Restrictions - no claims that the study had been conducted and reported according to internationally accepted guidelines or in compliance with the principles of GLP.

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

When 54MnCl2 was combined with Tf and immediately fractioned on a Sephadex column, 49% of 54Mn was bound to Tf. Amount bound was dependent on incubation periods and increased in a time dependent manner. In vivo 6 hr IV of ferric-hydroxide dextran complex significantly inhibited 54Mn brain uptake as compared to its uptake in iron-free dextran-treated rats.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: Bioaccumulation potential cannot be judged based on study results
Results suggest that Fe homeostasis may play an important role in the regulation of Mn transport across the blood-brain barrier.
