13 LOW DOSE MAGNESIUM SULPHATE REGIME FOR ECLAMPSIA Bangal V., Kwatra A., Raghav S., Jadhav S. Abstract Preeclampsia is one of the commonest medical complications seen during pregnancy. It contributes significantly to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Dr.J.A.Pritchard in 1955, introduced magnesium sulphate for control of convulsions in eclampsia and is used worldwide. Considering ...

Magnesium (Mg(2+)) is the fourth most abundant cation in the body. Thus, magnesium homeostasis needs to be tightly regulated, and this is facilitated by intestinal absorption and renal excretion. Magnesium absorption is dependent on two concomitant pathways found in both in the intestine and the kidneys: passive paracellular transport via claudins facilitates bulk magnesium absorption, whereas ...

Dietary magnesium deficiency and excess sucrose in the diet have been shown to play an important role in the development of insulin resistance. This study is an extension of a previously published experiment (Magnes Res 2004; 17: 293-300) and is focused on the effect of a low magnesium diet on in vitro glucose uptake in sucrose fed rats. For this purpose male Wistar rats were divided into four ...

The aim of this paper is to discuss, on the basis of an extensive literature review, the role of magnesium in health and disease. Magnesium is an essential cation playing a crucial role in many physiological functions. It is critical in energy-requiring metabolic processes, in protein synthesis, membrane integrity, nervous tissue conduction, neuromuscular excitability, muscle contraction, hormo...

The exchange of ions across interfaces is key to the field iontronics, where properties device can be altered by local ion concentration. This study investigates a complex oxide system structural and electronic phase transitions driven changes in concentration oxygen ions. In situ coherent X-ray studies are conducted on epitaxial bilayers insulating SrCoO2.5 metallic SrCoO3 − δ. diffusion bilay...

The antidepressant-like activity of magnesium, the non-specific N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptor antagonist, in the mice forced swim test was demonstrated previously. In the present study, the effects of this biometal were studied in the rat forced swim test. Magnesium (MgCl2) at doses ranging from 15 to 50 mg Mg/kg reduced the immobility time in the forced swim test, thus exerting antid...
