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
Also see Neurology section below.[4]
Sodium
Potassium
The intracellular and extracellular milieus
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.
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]
Sources of magnesium
Water
Food
Absorption
Effects of dietary fibers on magnesium absorption in animals and humans[8]
Causes of magnesium losses
