## Abstract Astrocytes are considered to play an important role in iron homeostasis of the brain, yet the mechanisms involved in the uptake of iron into astrocytes remain elusive. To investigate the uptake of iron into astrocytes, we have applied ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) to rat astrocyteβrich
## Abstract Manganese in excess is neurotoxic and causes CNS injury resembling that of Parkinson's disease. In brain, astrocytes predominantly take up and accumulate manganese and are thus vulnerable to its toxicity. Manganese was shown to induce cell swelling in cultured astrocytes, and oxidative/
