Possible Interaction: Magnesium and Iron, Dietary

“Its high proportion of magnesium and/or calcium can impair the absorption of iron.”

“ Fe showed a positive correlation with Mg and Cu in asthenospermic group.”

“However, a negative relationship was found between Mg and Fe levels and between Mg and sperm concentration in the normospermic group.”

“In the latter patients, the fractional excretion of magnesium ( FE Mg2+) was significantly higher.”

“In each of these studies, iron increases alpha-synuclein aggregation, while magnesium at concentrations >0.75 mm inhibits the aggregation of alpha-synuclein induced either spontaneously or by incubation with iron.”

“The results were as follows: (1) The excess iron intake reinforced the iron accumulation in liver and spleen of magnesium … saturation of iron binding capacity was enormously elevated in the magnesium deficient rats fed excess iron; and (3) Dietary iron deprivation diminished the degree … in kidney of magnesium deficient ….”

“At high concentrations, magnesium inhibits lipid peroxidation directly, perhaps by competing with iron for phospholipid binding sites.”

“Results from these studies indicated that calcium, magnesium , and hydrogen ion acted by decreasing the binding capacity of the protein for iron , rendering this metal available for metabolic needs.”

“K, Ca, Mg , sodium (Na), Cu, and aluminium (Al) exhibited antagonistic effects, while Fe exhibited a synergistic effect.”

“The synergistic catalytic effects of the in situ formed Fe active species and MgS may contribute to the enhanced hydrogen storage properties of MgH2.”

“The findings of this study indicate a significant effect of Ca and Mg concentrations in natural waters on iron uptake by Microcystis, with the magnitude of effect depending strongly on ligand type.”
