Possible Interaction: Manganese and Selenium

“After adjusting for potential confounders, the interaction between Se and Mn was observed.”

“Our findings suggest that Se has a protective effect on neonates’ brain development against neurotoxicity from prenatal exposure to Mn.”

“Whether Selenium Se ) can protect neonates against neurotoxicity from Mn exposure remains unclear.”

“Thus, the source of Se compounds may influence the balance between Se and other trace elements including Zn, Mn , Fe, and Cu, which is important for proper antioxidant defense in blood and egg yolk of laying hens.”

“Moreover, Se also increased the concentrations of Cr, Mn , Zn, and Se and decreased those of Li and Pb, which in contrast were induced by Cd.”

“In this process, Se alleviated the increased Cd and Pb induced by Pb exposure but aggravated the decreased Cu and Mn.”

“The excretion (% dose) of Se, Sr, As, Mn , Co, and V increased with Se levels in the liver.”

“ Se and Mn were inversely associated with child SBP percentiles, which, on average, were 6.23 points lower with a doubling of Se (95% CI: −11.51, −0.96) and 2.62 points lower with a doubling of Mn (95% CI: −5.20, −0.04).”

“ Selenium cycling in the environment is greatly controlled by various minerals, including Mn and Fe hydrous oxides.”

“The results indicated that Mn uptake, accumulation and translocation in rice could be decreased by the addition of Se in soil, therefore, Se addition could reduce the Mn harm to human health through food chain.”

“The results showed that addition of Se led to the significant increase of Se concentration in iron plaque on the root surface, root, shoot, husk and brown rice, and significant decrease of Mn concentration in shoot, husk and brown rice.”

“When supplied at low doses (5 and 10 μM) via the roots, Se stimulated the synthesis of phenolic compounds in leaves and reduced the levels of Mo, Fe, Mn , and Cu in roots.”

“Without Cd in the solution, low doses of Se increased the biomasses of shoots and roots at the expense of the more or less decreases in the concentrations of Ca, Mg, K, Fe, Mn , Cu, and shoot Zn, indicating an antagonistic effect of Se on these cations.”
