Table 1. Concentration of metal in select rat brain regions following subacute Mn exposure.

Atomic absorption spectroscopic analysis of Mn content in rat brain samples. Animals received i.p. injection of 6 or 15 mg/kg Mn once daily 5 days per week for 4 weeks. Metal concentrations were quantified using atomic absorption spectroscopy and are expressed as ug/g wet weight. Mn concentrations were significantly increased in the STR and HP of both Mn-treated groups compared with controls.
