Disrupted polyamine metabolism with elevated putrescine is associated with neuronal dysfunction. Manganese (Mn) is an essential nutrient that causes neurotoxicity in excess, but methods to evaluate biochemical responses to high Mn are limited. No information is available on dose-response effects of Mn on putrescine abundance and related polyamine metabolism. The present research was to test the hypothesis that Mn causes putrescine accumulation over a physiologically adequate to toxic concentrati ...[more]
