Description
Zhidan Xia leads a 2026 review arguing that manganese, a trace metal, plays a far larger role in health than its old image as a mere enzyme helper. The review gathers recent work on how the body handles manganese and what happens when that balance fails. It covers roles in fat handling, immune signaling, and cell balance.
Too much or too little manganese is linked to metabolic syndrome, Parkinson-like brain harm, liver and heart disease, and immune problems, the authors say. Faults in metal transporter genes can drive some cases. Future work they outline includes diet changes, targeted transporter therapies, and clearer exposure limits to protect public health.
