Abstract

The relations between manganese and atherosclerosis were examined on rabbits with experimental atherosclerosis, on patients with atherosclerosis and on workers exposed to manganese. Here a favourable influence of manganese was shown which effected a decrease of the cholesterol content of serum, liver and aorta and inhibited the entry of lipids into the aorta. The influence of the manganese on various enzymes as well as a manganese-copper interaction are discussed as possible causes.
