magnesium is an essential metal that has important roles in physiological function of the body organs. ethambutol is an oral antitubercular agent with chelating effects owing to its chemical structure. the aim of present study is to determine whether ethambutol usage can alter serum magnesium concentration in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. sixty patients with diagnosis of pulmonary tuber...

the results obtained in the present investigations point to a definite correlation between the onset of myocardial injury, electrocardiographic changes and biochemical changes. changes in the electrocardiogram and elevated serum levels were paralleled by an increased excretion of magnesium in urine as early as one hour. serum calcium and serum potassium levels did not show any significant resul...

background : we assessed the effects of cisplatin-based chemotherapy, magnesium supplementation, probable contributory factors such as cisplatin cumulative dose and dose per cycle on serum magnesium levels. methods : in this prospective randomized study, serum magnesium levels of 59 newly diagnosed adult patients receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy were studied. the patients were randomly al...

An inadequate and imbalanced intake of protein and energy results in protein-energy malnutrition (PEM). It is known that bone mineral density and serum magnesium levels are low in malnourished children. However, the roles of serum magnesium and endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in the pathophysiology of bone mineralization are obscure. Thus, the relationships between serum magnesium and ET-1 levels an...

background: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) was one of prevalent problems in general population. it was the most common cause of abnormal liver function tests and may lead to steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. the role of many factors has been known in nafld. in this study, we investigated the correlation of serum magnesium level and nafld after minimizing the role of major confounding fa...

OBJECTIVE Magnesium deficiency has been associated with insulin resistance (IR) and increased risk for type 2 diabetes in adults. This study was designed to determine whether obese children exhibit serum or dietary magnesium deficiency and its potential association with IR. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 24 obese nondiabetic children (BMI > or =85th percentile) and 24 sex- and puberty...

CONTEXT Magnesium support to small bowel resection patients. OBJECTIVE Incidence and treatment of hypomagnesemia in patients with extensive small bowel resection. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Metabolic Unit of the University Hospital Medical School of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, Brazil. PATIENTS Fifteen patients with extensive small bowel resection who developed shor...

E-mail: [email protected] Diabetes mellitus is a major public health problem thought the world and is growing in populations (1). Previously, we studied the correlation of serum lipids with serum magnesium value in diabetes patients in on 122. In this study we ob...

1. Magnesium metabolism has been studied in forty-eight patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Metabolic balance studies were undertaken in forty-three untreated patients and in fifteen patients after parathyroidectomy. The data obtained are compared with the pattern of magnesium metabolism in healthy adults, as established by analysis of collected nutritional studies. The renal handling of...

DEAR EDITOR, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major global public health problem in the world-wide and is increasing in aging populations. We previously conducted a study entitled; lipids in association with serum magnesium in DM patients in 2008. In this study, on 122 patients, we found a significant inverse correlations of serum magnesium with serum cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein...
