Brief description Manganese is an essential trace element for normal health. However in some medical conditions manganese can build up in the brain and cause a Parkinson's like disease called manganism. Experimental evidence suggests that the liver plays an important role in the development of manganism and this project aims to explore the way the liver handles manganese in health and disease. These studies may assist in understanding how manganism develops.
