Possible Interaction: Magnesium and Phosphorus

“Abstract It is shown that intracellular magnesium increases with intracellular phosphorus for a wide variety of living systems and that the concentrations of these two elements are closely connected with the steady state activity of any one biological system.”

“In addition, phosphorus intake correlated with the intake of magnesium and calcium (rs>=0.6, p<0.001).”

“Significantly direct correlations were also found between phosphorus and magnesium contents in the five arteries, except for the basilar artery.”

“It was found that both the mass ratios of magnesium to calcium and phosphorus were higher at an early stage of the accumulation of calcium and phosphorus in the arteries than at an advanced stage of the accumulation.”

“It was found that there were extremely significant correlations between calcium and phosphorus contents, between calcium and magnesium contents, and between phosphorus and magnesium contents in the common iliac arteries.”

“Net absorption and net retention of magnesium were lower (P < 0.10) in the high phosphorus group.”

“The calcium and phosphorus content of aortic tissue remained unchanged, but magnesium increased significantly.”

“Changes in the concentrations of serum phosphorus and magnesium were inconsistent.”

“However, increasing magnesium level to 100 ppm significantly (P less than .05) increased bone magnesium and phosphorus levels.”

“Regardless of diet, intravenous magnesium loading produced transitory decreases in plasma levels of calcium, potassium and phosphorus.”

“Moreover, it was found that the concentrations of magnesium correlate very well with the concentrations of phosphorus in all rice samples, with the correlation coefficient being as high as 0.9552.”
