Iron-responsive olfactory uptake of manganese improves motor function deficits associated with iron deficiency.

Iron-responsive manganese uptake is increased in iron-deficient rats, suggesting that toxicity related to manganese exposure could be modified by iron status. To explore possible interactions, the distribution of intranasally-instilled manganese in control and iron-deficient rat brain was characteri...
