Competitive inhibition of iron absorption by manganese and zinc in humans.
Author Rossander-Hulten L, Brune M, Sandstrom B Date 7/1991 Journal Am J Clin Nutr Abstract Zinc and manganese may interfere with iron absorption because of similar physicochemical properties and shared absorptive pathways. The effects of zinc and manganese on iron absorption were studied in human subjects by using paired observations and a dual-radioisotope method (55Fe […]
