Magnesium deficiency and oxidative stress: an update
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnesium deficiency (MgD) has been shown to impact numerous biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels. In the present review, we discuss the relationship between MgD and oxidative stress (OS). MgD is accompanied by increased levels of OS markers such as lipid, protein and DNA oxidative modification products. Additionally, a relationship was detected between MgD and a weakened antioxidant defence. Different mechanisms associated with MgD are involved in the development and maintenance of OS. These mechanisms include systemic reactions such as inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, as well as changes at the cellular level, such as mitochondrial dysfunction and excessive fatty acid production.

Update on the relationship between magnesium and exercise.
Magnesium is involved in numerous processes that affect muscle function including oxygen uptake, energy production and electrolyte balance. Thus, the relationship between magnesium status and exercise has received significant research attention. This research has shown that exercise induces a redistribution of magnesium in the body to accommodate metabolic needs. There is evidence that marginal...

Background & Objectives: Magnesium (Mg2+) is the second most abundant cation (after potassium) in the cell and plays an important role in various biological functions, including cell cycle, channel regulation, ATPase activity, metabolic regulation, etc. Magnesium deficiency increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, stroke and atherosclerosis, and gastrointestinal d...
متن کاملSelenium compounds for fish health: An update
Oxidative stress has become an important subject for terrestrial and aquatic toxicology. The trace element selenium has been demonstrated in chemo-prevention and drug-resistance through reduction of oxidative stress. Selenium compounds could prevent damage to the unsaturated fatty acid of subcellular membranes by lipid peroxidation induced by free radicals in fish.
متن کاملMagnesium, inflammation, and obesity in chronic disease.
About 60% of adults in the United States do not consume the estimated average requirement for magnesium, but widespread pathological conditions attributed to magnesium deficiency have not been reported. Nevertheless, low magnesium status has been associated with numerous pathological conditions characterized as having a chronic inflammatory stress component. In humans, deficient magnesium intak...
متن کاملMagnesium deficiency and endothelial dysfunction: is oxidative stress involved?
Low magnesium (Mg) has been associated with oxidative stress, an important player in aging, atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases. In vivo, low Mg and immune system activation seem to cooperate to promote endothelial dysfunction. We therefore evaluated whether exposure of human endothelial cells to low Mg in vitro determines oxidative stress features. We therefore measured intracellular r...
