[ 1 ] - Alterations in Serum Magnesium Levels in Hyperbili-rubinemic Neonates Before and After Phototherapy

Background: Bilirubin binds to cell membrane phospholipids, including N-methyl D-aspartate receptor, and causes excessive activation that can lead to neurotoxic effects. Since magnesium is an important inhibitor of this receptor, a comparison can be made between the physiological effects of magnesium and the neurological effects of bilirubin. This study aimed to compare changes in serum magnesi...
