Although considerable data have been gathered on the metabolism of the ash constituents, the literature concerning the interrelations between calcium and magnesium metabolism is very limited. This experiment was undertaken to ascertain whether an increased intake of calcium would affect the urinary and fecal excretion of magnesium and eice r’ersn, thus showing intcrrclations between the metabol...

to investigate uterine fluid and serum calcium (ca) and magnesium (mg) variations during the estrus cycle in water buffaloes, 71 genital tracts and blood samples were collected from the abattoir in urmia. the phase of the estrous cycle was determined by examining ovarian structures. 18 animals were pro-estrous, 15 estrous, 16 met-estrous and 22 diestrous. the uterine fluid was collected by gent...

Although much is known about magnesium, its interactions with calcium and vitamin D are less well studied. Magnesium intake is low in populations who consume modern processed-food diets. Low magnesium intake is associated with chronic diseases of global concern [e.g., cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and skeletal disorders], as is low vitamin D status. No simpl...

background: although phototherapy has been used for more than 60 years it has some complications. the light waves produced from phototherapy reduce melatonin concentration in newborns with subsequent hypocalcemia. we aimed to assess the effect of head covering on calcium and magnesium levels in full term newborns during phototherapy. methods: in this randomized controlled trial, 72 full-term ic...

background:the aim of this study is to investigate the association ofcalcium and magnesium concentration of drinking water with cardiovascular disease (cvds) in urban and rural areas of a city in iran. methods:this case-control study was conducted in 2012 in khansar county in isfahan province, iran. we used the official data of the provincial health center regarding the chemical analysis data o...

From chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 4 onwards, phosphate binders are needed in many patients to prevent the development of hyperphosphataemia, which can result in disturbed bone and mineral metabolism, cardiovascular disease and secondary hyperparathyroidism. In this review, we re-examine the use of magnesium-containing phosphate binders for patients with CKD, particularly as their use circ...

The design of inexpensive and less toxic porous coordination polymers (PCPs) that show selective adsorption or high adsorption capacity is a critical issue in research on applicable porous materials. Although use of Group II magnesium(II) and calcium(II) ions as building blocks could provide cheaper materials and lead to enhanced biocompatibility, examples of magnesium(II) and calcium(II) PCPs ...

The objective of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms associated with the reciprocal relation between magnesium and calcium on vascular smooth muscle tone in bovine pulmonary artery and vein. Rapid removal of magnesium from Krebs-bicarbonate medium used to bathe isolated rings of precontracted artery or vein caused transient endothelium- and calcium-dependent relaxation and cyclic GMP acc...
