Magnesium is an important cofactor for many biological processes, such as protein synthesis, nucleic acid stability,[1] or neuromuscular excitability.[2]
Relationship with other ions
Focusing on single ions rather than on their mutual interaction often leads to artificial controversies in which K+, Na+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ have each been claimed as the "most" important ionic determinant of pathologic processes such as hypertension.[3]
Calcium

Sodium
Potassium

Magnesium in disease
Neurology
This fundamental advance was consistent with the idea that at negative potentials Mg2+ plugged the channel pore, which prevented ion permeation despite channel activation by the agonist. In contrast, membrane depolarization relieved the Mg2+ blockade to allow ion flux, which explained the enhancement in current responses at depolarized potentials.[4]
Stroke
Magnesium in stroke treatment[5]. Also see Emergency medicine and Causes of magnesium losses
Kidney diseases
Asthma and COPD
Cardiovascular disease
"Mg at optimal cellular concentration is well accepted as a natural calcium channel blocker. More recent work shows that Mg also acts as a statin."Comparison of mechanism and functional effects of magnesium and statin pharmaceuticals.[6]
Obstetrics
New data on the importance of gestational Mg deficiency[7]
Emergency medicine
Sources of magnesium
Water
Food
Absorption
Effects of dietary fibers on magnesium absorption in animals and humans[8]
Causes of magnesium losses
HPA overactivity
The therapeutic use of magnesium in anesthesiology, intensive care and emergency medicine: a review[9]
