| Abstract | Manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) are essential transitions metals that are required in trace amounts, however chronic exposure to high concentrations can cause severe and irreversible neurotoxicity. Since prolonged exposure to Mn leads to manganism, a disorder exhibiting a diverse array of neurological impairments progressing to a debilitating and irreversible extrapyramidal condition symptomatically similar to Parkinson’s disease, we measured the concentration of Mn as well as Fe, Zn and Cu in three region of the brain (globus pallidus, striatum and inferior colliculus) and three regions in the cochlea (stria vascularis, basilar membrane and modiolus) under normal conditions or after 30 or 60 days of oral administration of Mn (10 mg/ml ad libitum). Under normal conditions, Mn, Zn and Fe were typically higher in the cochlea than in the three brain regions whereas Cu was equal to or lower. Oral treatment with Mn for 30 or 60 days resulted in 20–75 % increases in Mn concentrations in both cochlea and brain samples, but had little effect on Cu and Fe levels. In contrast, Zn levels decreased (20–80 %) with Mn exposure. Our results show for the first time how prolonged oral Mn-ingestion affects the concentration of Mn, Cu, Zn and Fe, in the three regions of the cochlea, the inferior colliculus in auditory midbrain and the striatum and globus pallidus, two regions implicated in Parkinson’s disorder. The Mn-induced changes in the concentration of Mn, Cu, Zn and Fe may provide new insights relevant to the neurotoxicity of Mn and the transport and accumulation of these metals in cochlea and brain. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
