Metabolic changes and hypomagnesiemia

Abstract

Mg++ blood concentrations were determined before and after a standard exercise of 80 watts and 8 minutes from 306, mainly male probands, which were subdivided into three groups: Group 1 consisted of probands with Mg++ concentrations of 0.45 mM/l and lower. Group 2 of those with Mg++ concentrations between 0.45 mM/l and 0.5 mM/l and Group 3 of probands with Mg values above 0.5 mM Mg/1. It turned out that in groups with lower Mg++ concentrations there was also a higher blood glucose, higher lactate, lower pH and lower buffer capacity, sometimes even before exercise. If hypomagnesemia is to be defined by concomitant worsening of the metabolism, the so called hypomagnesiemic threshold should be increased from 0.45 mM/l to 0.5 mM/l, nearly a third of the physiological range.

Positive Effect of Magnesium Orotate Therapy in Hypertensive Heart Disease

“…Likewise the efficacy of an oral therapy with magnesium is well documented in hypertension and borderline hypertension. Also in lipid disorders and in the development of atherosclerosis or cancer magnesium deficiency is commonly involved [26][27][28][29][30][31].…”
