	Elements of Magnesium Biology
		Magnesium thus acts as a major cellular and subcellular stabilizing agent which is necessary for the stability of plasma membranes, for the integrity of mitochondria, lysosomes, polysomes, and chromosomes as well as for the integrity of the helix of DNA and of messenger RNA and of RNA complexes.
		An increase of magnesium absorption is in fact observed in the rat during magnesium deficit due to urinary hyperexcretion of magnesium caused either by a loop diuretic such as furosemide (950) or by increasing renal clearance with triiodothyronine (995).
		Magnesium deficiency appears to be accompanied by excessive levels of adrenalin in the blood, perhaps due to stimulation of the pentose phosphate pathway in the medullary-adrenal gland (490).

	Elements of Magnesium Biology: Figures and Table
		These systems are defective in magnesium deficit (MD), either because of a blocking of reactive secretions (earlier in the case of the parathyroid glands than for the beta ceils of the pancreas) or because of a reduced receptor sensitivity (especially in bone).
		In magnesium overload (MO) the reduction in calcium levels may overshoot its goal and the hypoinsulinism may not occur (forms with hypokalemia).
		During magnesium deficit, hypersecretion of adrenalin and insulin participates in the homeostasis of magnesium levels in extracellular fluids without exercising this regulatory action at the expense of the equilibrium of the intracellular compartment.

	Chapter 14. Magnesium
		Of the body’s magnesium, 30-40 percent is found in muscles and soft tissues, 1 percent is found in extracellular fluid, and the remainder is in the skeleton, where it accounts for up to 1 percent of bone ash (4, 5).
		Of particular importance with respect to the pathologic effects of magnesium depletion is the role of this element in regulating potassium fluxes and its involvement in the metabolism of calcium (6-8).
		Magnesium is widely distributed in plant and animal foods, and geochemical and other environmental variables rarely have a major influence on its content in foods.
