Diabetes mellitus has been suggested to be the most common metabolic disorder associated with magnesium deficiency, having 25% to 39% prevalence. This deficit could be associated with the development of late diabetic complications, especially macroangiopathy.We aimed to evaluate the status of serum Mg in children with type 1 diabetes and assess its relation to glycemic control and lipid profile...

Many studies suggest the fluctuation of the serum level of zinc and magnesium in diabetic patients compared with healthy individuals and etiological role of these elements in the pathogenesis of diabetes. This study aimed to measure the serum level of zinc and magnesium in three groups of healthy individuals, patients with diabetes, and patients with metabolic syndrome and relationship of these...

background: preeclampsia is a pregnancy multisystem disorder of unknown etiology. it is a significant cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. objectives: due to the significant role of magnesium in physiological regulation of blood pressure, this study was conducted to measure the level of magnesium in pre-eclampsia and control groups since the beginning of the pregnancy. materials...

background: in the present study, blood serum level of metals were determined in malarial pa­tients and compared with those in the normal subjects without complication using atomic absorp­tion spectrometer. methods: for the determination of these metals twelve intravenous blood samples each from re­ferred malarial patients and a group of normal subjects were collected and immediately centri­fug...

The therapeutic index of magnesium is said to be low, hence, there are fears of toxicity when used as anticonvulsant in eclamptic patients. The objective of this study was to determine the serum levels of magnesium in eclamptic patients treated with magnesium sulphate and relate the levels with clinical indicators. It was a prospective study involving consecutive eclamptic patients that were ma...

OBJECTIVE To assess serum zinc and magnesium level in type-2 diabetic patients and the effect of age, gender, glycemic control and duration of diabetes on these trace elements in comparison with those of control subjects. STUDY DESIGN Non-interventional case control study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Medicine, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro, Hydera...

background the anti-inflammatory properties of magnesium sulfate have never been discussed in brain tumor surgeries. objectives this study is aimed to find anti-inflammatory aspects of high dose magnesium sulfate infusion during perioperative period of neurosurgical patients through checking the serial c-reactive protein (crp) blood levels as a biomarker of inflammation. patients and methods si...

INTRODUCTION Atrial and ventricular arrhythmias are among the most common complications after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. It is known that cardiopulmonary bypass reduces serum magnesium level. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between total blood magnesium level (TMG) and the incidence of perioperative arrhythmias. METHODS TMG was measured in patients who were sche...

Magnesium and some trace elements known to act as antioxidants or to be related directly to glucose metabolism may be altered in diabetes mellitus. The aim of the present work is to study the state of these elements in relation to disease duration, control and complications. The study included 25 children with type 1 diabetes and 13 apparently healthy controls studied for serum magnesium, zinc,...

background: pre-eclampsia along with its complications seems to be one of the major causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. despite numerous studies, the etiology of pre-eclampsia has not yet been fully elucidated. according to recent studies changes in the level of blood trace elements can be an adverse event in human and animal pregnancy. the present study determines whether maternal seru...
