Manganese

  • Chapter
Trace Elements and Iron in Human Metabolism

Part of the book series: Topics in Hematology ((TOHE))

Abstract

In 1931, manganese was shown to be essential for growth and reproduction in rats and mice (Kemmerer et al., 1931; Orent and McCollum, 1931). Wilgus et al. (1936) later demonstrated that manganese prevented a skeletal abnormality in chickens, called “perosis.” Even though manganese has been shown to be essential for many species of animals, as yet there are no well-defined occurrences of manganese deficiency in man (Leach, 1976).
