Manganese and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) are known to induce neurological pathologies similar to that of parkinsonism. Previous studies performed in rat striatal slices have shown that MPTP and related compounds inhibit tyrosine hydroxylation, a rate-limiting step of dopamine biosynthesis. Here, we reported that manganese inhibited tyrosine hydroxylation in rat striatal slices. In addition, manganese caused increase in the levels of lactate indicating that aerobic glycolysis was inhibited in striatal slices. This inhibition was unique to manganese since other divalent cations, such as magnesium and zinc, did not increase lactate concentrations. These results suggest that the mechanisms by which manganese produces dysfunction of the nervous system are similar to those of MPTP.
