title: [Levels of manganese and iron in the brain of normal and manganese-poisoned rats].
abstract: Forty rats were poisoned by manganese inhalation and were sacrificed after six and nine months. Tissue concentrations (in mg/g dry weight) were measured in brain, cerebellum and stem-brain of the experimental animals and the twenty control rats, for atomic absorption spectometry. The increase in tissue manganese concentrations were very pronounced in cerebellum, and minor in brain and stem-brain. The tissue iron concentrations undergo a light increase in cerebellum and stem-brain.
