Possible Interaction: Magnesium and Magnesium Cation

“In patients receiving magnesium , serum ionized magnesium and total magnesium concentrations were increased by 43% (p = .0001) and 59% (p = .0002), respectively, on day 1 as compared with the control group.”

“However, due to the degradability of magnesium, different concentrations of magnesium ions have different effects on cells, which affects the safety of magnesium implants.”

“Incubation of tubular epithelial cells in high phosphate and low magnesium medium in vitro increased apoptosis and the expression levels of profibrotic and proinflammatory cytokine; these changes were significantly suppressed by increasing magnesium concentration.”

“ Magnesium modulates mechanical, electrical and structural functions of cardiac and vascular cells, and small changes in extracellular magnesium levels and/or intracellular free magnesium concentration may have significant effects on cardiac excitability and on vascular tone, contractility and reactivity.”

“ Magnesium application increased concentrations of Mg and capsaicinoids, decreased those of calcium (Ca), zinc (Zn) and vitamin C (Vc), and had no effect on potassium (K) and iron (Fe) in pepper fruit.”

“ Magnesium exposure profoundly enhanced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) gene expression and activity even at a relatively low magnesium concentration (2.5 mm).”

“The postoperative systemic magnesium concentrations were substantially higher in the magnesium group , 1.25 ± 0.28 mmol/L compared to control, 0.71 ± 0.11 mmol/L, P<0.0001.”

“Oral intake of magnesium enhanced the magnesium concentration in the sputum of CF patients.”

“RBC magnesium concentration (P < 0.05), magnesium retention (P < 0.05) and skeletal muscle magnesium concentration (P < 0.05) decreased when dietary magnesium was restricted.”

“An understanding of the role of magnesium in cardiac conduction is complicated by the multiplicity of intracellular events coordinated by the magnesium ion.”
