98 adult healthy Indian subjects of both sexes representing all parts of India were investigated for serum magnesium level. Mean values of serum mangesium content of different groups of subjects have been found to be between 2. 32 and 2.60 mg per cent. No significant variation of serum magnesium content due to age, sex, and season has been found. The present values are slightly higher than thos...

implicated the importance of magnesium ion in the pathophysiology of migraine.1,2 Magnesium has been also administered for both prophylactic and acute therapy in migraine, but the question of its efficacy has not been studied adequately.3,4 So the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of oral magnesium oxide supplementation associated with routine treatments of migraine seizures.

PURPOSE To investigate the in vivo effects of gadodiamide (Gd-DTPA-BMA) and gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) on the laboratory measurements of serum calcium, magnesium, and creatinine. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records from 1993 to 2004 were reviewed to identify inpatients for whom laboratory data were available regarding serum calcium, creatinine, and magnesium levels before and withi...

Introduction: There is a great deal of controversy regarding the effect of gestational magnesium (Mg) deficiency on fetal growth and the incidence of low birth weight (LBW) in infants. Therefore, this study aimed to delineate the possible relationship between maternal Mg level and infant LBW. Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 180 mothers in Shiraz, Iran. Fasting blood samples we...

We investigated the role of extracellular magnesium on capillary endothelial cell migration and proliferation, components of endothelial cell function that play an important role in angiogenesis and wound healing. Cell migration and proliferation were tested in six different MgSO4 concentrations and in various culture conditions. The Boyden chamber procedure was used to evaluate migration of bo...

Objective: Study was conducted to observe the relationship of ions with lipid profile and protein content of hypertensive patients. Methods: Lipid profile, ions and serum and urinary proteins were studied in patients with hypertension and compared with normal subjects. Results: Serum cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL-chol were significantly increased, whereas the level of HDL-cholesterol was si...
