“ Magnesium and selenium supplementation of diets resulted in increased apparent fecal losses of copper while no effect of manganese supplementation was found.”
“While it is generally accepted that water hardness affects copper toxicity, the major ions that contribute to water hardness (calcium [Ca] and magnesium [Mg]) may affect copper toxicity differently.”

“… Mg were significantly higher in the cases than in the controls (OR [95% CI]: 1.031 [1.006-1.….118] for K; 1.161 [1.012-1.331] for Mg), while the concentrations of Zn and Cu were significantly lower (0.997 [0.… [0.992-1.000] for Zn).”

“ Copper (Cu), a good antibacterial, angiogenic, and osteogenic element, was added by reaction in a Cu-containing electrolyte to improve the osteogenic and pro-angiogenic activities of Mg.”
“Based on the results, it could be concluded that Cu inhibited root growth and Ca and Mg absorption in grapevines, and stimulated the production of ROS, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzymes.”
“Decreasing Mg concentration significantly exacerbated Cu and Cd toxicity and optimum supply of Mg improved the growth and decreased the toxicity-induced oxidative stress (a substantial decline in the amount of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in root and shoot tissues).”
“In conclusion, decreasing supply of Mg effectively exacerbated the toxicities of Cu and Cd in wheat.”
“Surprisingly, high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy images revealed that the copper appears to displace the magnesium at the core of the composite cluster despite magnesium being the initially condensed species within the droplet.”
