Manganese deficiency - what does this mean

Manganese deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or produce enough manganese, an essential trace mineral. this can be caused by inadequate dietary intake, malabsorption, or increased excretion of manganese. symptoms of manganese deficiency include poor growth, skeletal deformities, reproductive problems, impaired immune function, and neurological symptoms.

What happens during the disease - manganese deficiency

Manganese deficiency is caused by an inadequate dietary intake of manganese, which leads to a decrease in the levels of manganese in the body. this can lead to impaired growth, impaired reproductive function, and reduced immune system function. in addition, it can also lead to impaired glucose metabolism, altered neurological function, and increased risk of oxidative damage and inflammation.
