“…Superoxide is known to stimulate collagen synthesis by hepatocytes and fibroblasts in vitro (9,17), and a prooxidant system also induces collagen gene expression and protein production in liver fat-storing cells (35). In addition, oxidative stress, as evidenced by increases in TBARS, stimulates collagen synthesis in the rat aorta in vivo (41). Because oxLDL stimulates reactive oxygen species production by SMCs (16), oxLDL may upregulate collagen production through a redox-sensitive pathway.…”

“…In another study, rats fed the MgD diet displayed an impaired redox capacity, marked by increased levels of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and oxysterols in the plasma as well as an increased susceptibility of RBC to freeradical- induced haemolysis in vitro [38]. High levels of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances in the aorta of rats fed the Mg deficient diet correlated with a significant reduction in the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase as well as an increase in the net fractional rates of collagen synthesis [39]. In mice, hypomagnesaemia led to a decrease in GSH concentration and lowered the activity of superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione S-transferase in RBCs.…”

“…Magnesium deficiency has been shown to produce vascular lesions in experimental animals (Rude, 1992) and intracellular calcium elevation, resulting in increased vascular tone and hypertension (Shivakvmar and Kumar, 1997). Several prospective studies have indicated that hypertension in diabetic patients takes place at a rate more than twice compared to the normal population.…”
