Abstract: 
We derive rotation curves, surface brightness profiles, and oxygen abundance distributions for 147 late-type galaxies using the publicly available spectroscopy obtained by the MaNGA survey. Changes of the central oxygen abundance (O/H)<SUB>0</SUB>, the abundance at the optical radius (O/H)<SUB>R<SUB>25</SUB></SUB>, and the abundance gradient with rotation velocity V<SUB>rot</SUB> were examined for galaxies with rotation velocities from 90 km s<SUP>-1</SUP> to 350 km s<SUP>-1</SUP>. We find that each relation shows a break at V<SUB>rot</SUB><SUP>∗</SUP> ̃ 200 km s<SUP>-1</SUP>. The central (O/H)<SUB>0</SUB> abundance increases with rising V<SUB>rot</SUB> and the slope of the (O/H)<SUB>0</SUB>-V<SUB>rot</SUB> relation is steeper for galaxies with V<SUB>rot</SUB> ≲ V<SUB>rot</SUB><SUP>∗</SUP>. The mean scatter of the central abundances around this relation is 0.053 dex. The relation between the abundance at the optical radius of a galaxy and its rotation velocity is similar; the mean scatter in abundances around this relation is 0.081 dex. The radial abundance gradient expressed in dex/kpc flattens with the increase of the rotation velocity. The slope of the relation is very low for galaxies with V<SUB>rot</SUB> ≳ V<SUB>rot</SUB><SUP>∗</SUP>. The abundance gradient expressed in dex/R<SUB>25</SUB> is roughly constant for galaxies with V<SUB>rot</SUB> ≲ V<SUB>rot</SUB><SUP>∗</SUP>, flattens towards V<SUB>rot</SUB><SUP>∗</SUP>, and then again is roughly constant for galaxies with V<SUB>rot</SUB> ≳ V<SUB>rot</SUB><SUP>∗</SUP>. The change of the gradient expressed in terms of dex/h<SUB>d</SUB> (where h<SUB>d</SUB> is the disc scale length), in terms of dex/R<SUB>e, d</SUB> (where R<SUB>e, d</SUB> is the disc effective radius), and in terms of dex/R<SUB>e, g</SUB> (where R<SUB>e, g</SUB> is the galaxy effective radius) with rotation velocity is similar to that for gradient in dex/R<SUB>25</SUB>. The relations between abundance characteristics and other basic parameters (stellar mass, luminosity, and radius) are also considered.
