Translocation of instilled Mn to olfactory bulb in separate experiments. (A) Percentage of instilled Mn retained in olfactory bulb (shaded bars) and retained in olfactory mucosa (solid bars) 24 hr after instillation of either MnCl2 or Mn oxide into left naris, n = 3/group. (B) Background corrected amount of Mn in olfactory bulb (shaded bars) and on olfactory mucosa (solid bars) at 30 min and 24 hr after instillation of Mn oxide into the left naris, n = 3/group. (C) Amount of Mn in left (shaded bars) and right (solid bars) olfactory bulb tissue from untreated control rats (n = 5) and 24 hr after instillation of Mn oxide into the left naris (n = 6 rats). Values are means ± SE.
*p < 0.05 versus untreated controls.
