Calcium-Magnesium Ratio

Cerebrospinal Fluid Calcium, Magnesium, and their Ratio in Psychoses

The very narrow limits within which the levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) calcium, magnesium, and their ratio, are maintained have been reported from this laboratory.8 The data obtained from patients without signs of neurological condition or psychosis are in good agreement with the results obtained by Stutzman and Amatusio.1' CSF calcium is at 4.95 mg.%4± 0.11, magnesium at 3.01 mg.% ±0.03, ...

Clinical significance of the magnesium: calcium ratio; technic for the determination of magnesium and calcium in biologic fluids.

The Schwartzenbach titration of calcium and magnesium has been applied principally in the field of determination of total hardness in water (1-4). Due to its particular application in this field where many contaminants are possible, Diehi, Goetz, and Hach have published a table of the principal interfering substances, their maximum tolerated concentrations, and the various inhibiting reagents w...

Calcium and Magnesium Homeostasis

Magnesium, calcium and cancer.

Magnesium ion (Mg(2+)) and calcium ion (Ca(2+)) control a diverse and important range of cellular processes, such as gene transcription, cell proliferation, neoplastic transformation, immune response and therapeutic treatment. Their characteristic biologic antagonism makes it important to treat the most important aspects of that competitive behavior together. This synopsis aims to be a useful m...

Calcium, Phosphorus and Magnesium

A total of approximately 1-1.5kg of body weight is made up of calcium where 99% is found in the bones and teeth and remaining 1% is in the ECF and other compartments. Ca exists as carbonates or phosphates of calcium within the body, while in the plasma they exist in either the ionized form(which is the physiologically active form), bound to plasma proteins(mainly albumin) or complexes with orga...
