background: hypomagnesaemia is one of the main side effects of cisplatin-based chemotherapy regimens in cancer patients. the aim of the current investigation was to evaluate the effect of oral magnesium oxide (mgo) supplementation on cisplatin-induced hypomagnesemia. methods: this parallel-randomized controlled, open label trial was conducted in a hospital of iran university of medical sciences...

This study compared magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate with respect to in vitro solubility and in vivo gastrointestinal absorbability. The solubility of 25 mmol magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide was examined in vitro in solutions containing varying amounts of hydrochloric acid (0-24.2 mEq) in 300 ml distilled water intended to mimic achlorhydric to peak acid secretory states. Magnesium o...

nano-sized drugs have better distribution than their identical forms. magnesium is the cofactor of various enzymes in lipid and glucose metabolism. in this study the effect of nano-magnesium oxide (nano-mgo) on glucose concentration and lipid profile in diabetes induced mice was evaluated in 21 laboratory mice. mice were divided randomly into three equal groups (control, treatment and placebo)....

Nanostructures of magnesium oxide is one of the most attractive materials which have shown various applications in many aspects of industries. So, finding a controllable and inexpensive technique to produce desirable nanostructures of MgO is valuable. In this work, magnesium oxide (MgO) with different morphologies was successfully prepared via a simple solid-state method. The molar ratio of sod...

mesoporous  mgo  microstructures  were  synthesized  using magnesium  acetate  tetrahydrate,  ammonium  oxalate  monohydrate and  pluronic  f127  via  heating  at  40  °c  for  24  h  and  subsequent calcination. the mesoporous structure of magnesium oxide with the specific  surface  area  of  47m2/g,  pore  volume  0.30  cm3/g  and  the average pore size 24 nm is produced. according to xrd stu...

background and aims: although metal and metal oxide nanoparticles are used in different medical applications, they may have considerable toxicity on various cells, such as myocytes. therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of the naked and serum-treated silver nanoparticles (ag nps) and magnesium oxide nanoparticles (mgo nps) on the cardiomyocytes. materials and methods: cardiomyocy...

introduction: our previous study has showed that chronic administration of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (mgo np) can reduce anxiety in adult male rat. in this study the effects of mgo np on anxiety induced by morphine withdrawal were investigated in adult male mice. methods: adult male nmri mice (weighing 27 ± 3 g) divided into groups: control, receiving intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of mgo...

the waste tyres represent a source of energy and valuable hydrocarbon products. waste tyres were pyrolysed catalytically in a batch reactor under atmospheric pressure. the effects of basic catalysts (mgo and caco3) were studied on the pyrolysis products. the distribution ratio of gas, liquid and char with mgo and caco3 were 24.4:39.8:35.8 wt % and 32.5:32.2:35.2 wt % respectively at 350°c for 2...

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. In thi...
