Sex Dimorphism of Calcium and Magnesium Metabolism

Background. There is a need for assessing personalized nutritional status of the bio elements magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca). Objective. We studied Mg Ca by analyzing their concentrations frequency distribution in long-term biological indicator tissue hair. Design. Hair were analyzed 1073 apparently healthy white adult Caucasians both sexes [734 women (♀) 339 men (♂)] with ICP MS. The concentrate data log transformed assessed Median Derivatives Bioassay. Results. hair median values (µg∙g-1) Women 254 Men (♂) 137.2 whereas W was 721.4 M 492.0, respectively. Adequate range limits arranged themselves along linear part sigmoid saturation curve. These adequate window 29.7–270.6 20.5–90.2. 487.7–4456.8 26.1–816.4. bone seeking Ca, Mg, Sr showed same increasing affinity deposition, major cellular electrolytes sodium potassium almost imperceptibly higher than women. Conclusions. incorporates at about 2.5 times rate Bioassay convenient painless way to assess monitor dietary men.
