As per the title, what role does manganese play in mitochondrial function? Anything else other than as a part of manganese superoxide dismutase?
I recently had serum levels tested and they were low and but I'm unable to tolerate supplementation. It causes severe problems with my stomach and esophagus even when bypassing the gut (transdermal).
I have eosinophilic esophagitis and MCAS and my stomach and esophagus are by far my sickest organs and I suspect I have severe mitochondrial dysfunction in them as a result of very long term immune activation combined with periods of malnutrition and a toxic drug combination that further damaged them back in 2009 while I was poorly nutritioned and losing weight (one of them was a nitrofuran, furazolidone, that had its FDA approval revoked for being too toxic).
