Effect of daily supplementation of manganese (Mn) on hypothalamic luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) content and serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) after short-term ALC exposure.
Control diet-fed animals were supplemented with Mn (CON+Mn) or received saline (ALC+SAL). Animals fed the ALC diet either received saline (ALC+SAL) or were supplemented with Mn (ALC + Mn). Taken together these results suggest that Mn protects against the negative effects of ALC. Panel A: a vs. b and d, p<0.05; c vs a, b and d, p<0.001. Panel B: a vs b, p< 0.01; a vs c, p< 0.05; b vs c, p< 0.01; d vs. c, p<0.05. Bars with the same letters are not different. N=10-12 animals per group.
