The association between dietary approaches to stop hypertension diet and bone mineral density in US adults: evidence from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011-2018). Sci Rep 2023; 13:23043. [PMID: 38155299 PMCID: PMC10754924 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-50423-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) dietary patterns and bone mineral density (BMD) in adults residing in the United States. To achieve this, data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database for 2011-2018 were utilized. This study utilized the NHANES database from 2011 to 2018, with a sample size of 8,486 US adults, to investigate the relationship between the DASH diet and BMD. The DASH diet was assessed based on nine target nutrients: total fat, saturated fat, protein, fiber, cholesterol, calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. The primary outcome measures were BMD values at the total BMD, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, and pelvis. Multivariable linear models were employed to analyze the association between the DASH diet and BMD. Interaction tests, subgroup, and sensitivity analysis were also followed. A negative correlation was observed between the DASH diet and total BMD (OR: - 0.003 [95%CI: - 0.005, - 0.001), pelvic (OR: - 0.005 [95%CI: - 0.007, - 0.002]), and thoracic BMD (OR: - 0.003 [95%CI: - 0.005, - 0.001]). However, the DASH diet does not appear to have a particular effect on lumbar spine BMD (OR: - 0.002 [95%CI: - 0.004, 0.001]). Similarly, when the DASH diet was categorized into tertiles groups, the relationship with total BMD, pelvic BMD, thoracic BMD, and lumbar spine BMD remained consistent. Furthermore, we performed a sensitivity analysis by converting BMD to Z-scores, and the results remained unchanged. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests indicated no significant dependence of BMI, gender, smoking, hypertension, and diabetes on the observed association (all p for interactions > 0.05). The DASH diet has been identified as potentially reducing total BMD, while specifically impacting thoracic and pelvic BMD. However, it appears to have no significant effect on lumbar spine BMD.

Prognostic value of day-of-event serum calcium and magnesium for predicting 1-year prognosis after intracerebral hemorrhage. Neurol Sci 2023; 44:3957-3965. [PMID: 37291394 DOI: 10.1007/s10072-023-06886-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
AIM To investigate whether serum calcium and magnesium on the day of symptom onset contribute to prognosis at 1 year after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS We prospectively enrolled patients admitted < 24 h after symptom onset of primary ICH to West China Hospital between January 2012 and October 2014. Blood samples were collected at admission to determine the concentration of serum calcium and magnesium. We analyzed associations of the serum concentration of calcium and magnesium with unfavorable outcome (defined as modified Rankin scale, mRS ≥ 3) at 1 year. RESULTS We included 874 patients (mean age 59.1 ± 13.5 years, 67.6% males), of whom 470 patients had mRS ≥ 3 and 284 patients died at 1 year. Compared to patients with the highest tertile level of calcium concentration (≥ 2.29 mmol/L), patients in the lowest tertile (≤ 2.15 mmol/L) had higher odds of unfavorable outcome (odds ratio, OR 1.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-2.50, P = 0.034). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve revealed a significant difference of cumulative survival rate across calcium tertiles (log-rank P value = 0.038). There was no significant association between serum concentration of magnesium and functional outcome at 1 year. CONCLUSION A reduced serum concentration of calcium on the day-of-event was associated with unfavorable outcome at 1 year after ICH. Future studies are needed to illustrate the pathophysiological mechanism of calcium and whether calcium could be a treatment target for improving outcomes after ICH.

Abstract
Magnesium and vitamin D play important roles in most cells of the body. These nutrients act in a coordinated fashion to maintain physiologic functions of various organs, and their abnormal balance could adversely affect these functions. Therefore, deficient states of both nutrients may lead to several chronic medical conditions and increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have altered metabolism of both magnesium and vitamin D. Some studies indicate that magnesium could have a role in the synthesis and metabolism of vitamin D, and that magnesium supplementation substantially reversed the resistance to vitamin D treatment in some clinical situations. Recent observational studies also found that magnesium intake significantly interacted with vitamin D status and, particularly with the risk of cardiovascular mortality. It is therefore essential to ensure adequate levels of magnesium to obtain the optimal benefits of vitamin D supplementation in CKD patients. In this review, we discuss magnesium physiology, magnesium and vitamin D metabolism in CKD, potential metabolic interactions between magnesium and vitamin D and its clinical relevance, as well as the possible role of magnesium supplementation to assure adequate vitamin D levels.

Hypomagnesemia in Post Thyroidectomy Patient: An Underestimated Entity. Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2023; 75:1986-1991. [PMID: 37636693 PMCID: PMC10447295 DOI: 10.1007/s12070-023-03777-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In post thyroidectomy patients hypocalcemia is one of the known complication many factors play important role in calcium hemostasis and magnesium is one among them. So this study was conducted to assess the prevalence of hypomagnesemia in post thyroidectomy patients and its relationship with calcium homeostasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective observational study was conducted among 31 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy or completion thyroidectomy over a period of 1 year. Patient's pre-operative and post-operative day 1 and day 2 serum calcium, magnesium and iPTH was recorded and their correlation was analyzed using SPSS 21.0. and p value of < 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Calcium supplementation was only given to patients who developed symptomatic hypocalcemia in postoperative period. RESULTS In our study hypomagnesemia in post thyroidectomy patients on post -operative day 1 and day 2 was 71% and 74.2% respectively. Hypocalcemia was seen in 64.5% of patients on post-operative day 1 and 96.8% on post-operative day 2. Symptomatic hypocalcemia was seen in 22.6% of study population on post-operative day 1 and 22.6% of patients on post-operative day 2 while 25.8% patients newly developed symptoms of hypocalcemia. Statistically significant correlation was found between calcium and magnesium levels in post op day 1(< 0.001) and post op day 2(< 0.004) and also statistically significant correlation was found between post-operative day 1 magnesium levels and post-operative day 2 calcium levels (0.001). Symptomatic hypocalcemia was more commonly seen among patients who had hypomagnesemia along with hypocalcemia though it failed to show any statistical significance. CONCLUSION Post thyroidectomy hypomagnesemia is frequent event and magnesium acts as an independent risk factor in development of post thyroidectomy hypocalcemia. Hypomagnesemia tends to alleviate symptomatic hypocalcemia in post thyroidectomy patients. So the role of magnesium correction to alleviate severe hypocalcemia needs to be further studied.

Plasma mineral status after a six-month intervention providing one egg per day to young Malawian children: a randomized controlled trial. Sci Rep 2023; 13:6698. [PMID: 37095119 PMCID: PMC10125967 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-33114-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Mineral deficiencies are common in children living in low-resource areas. Eggs are a rich source of essential nutrients and have been shown to improve growth in young children, although little is known about their impact on mineral status. Children aged 6-9 months (n = 660) were randomized to receive either one egg/day for 6-months or no intervention. Anthropometric data, dietary recalls, and venous blood were collected at baseline and 6-months follow-up. Quantification of plasma minerals (n = 387) was done using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy. Difference-in-difference mean plasma mineral concentrations was determined from baseline and follow-up values and assessed between groups by intention-to-treat using ANCOVA regression models. Prevalence of zinc deficiency was 57.4% at baseline and 60.5% at follow-up. Mean difference (MD) of plasma magnesium, selenium, copper, and zinc levels were not different between groups. Plasma iron concentrations were significantly lower in the intervention compared to the control group (MD = - 9.29; 95% CI: - 15.95, - 2.64). Zinc deficiency was widely prevalent in this population. Mineral deficiencies were not addressed with the egg intervention. Further interventions are needed to improve the mineral status of young children.

Combined vitamin D and magnesium supplementation does not influence markers of bone turnover or glycemic control: A randomized controlled clinical trial. Nutr Res 2023; 110:33-43. [PMID: 36640582 DOI: 10.1016/j.nutres.2022.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
High-dose vitamin D supplementation can increase total osteocalcin concentrations that may reduce insulin resistance in individuals at risk for prediabetes or diabetes mellitus. Magnesium is a cofactor in vitamin D metabolism and activation. The purpose of this study was to determine the combined effect of vitamin D and magnesium supplementation on total osteocalcin concentrations, glycemic indices, and other bone turnover markers after a 12-week intervention in individuals who were overweight and obese, but otherwise healthy. We hypothesized that combined supplementation would improve serum total osteocalcin concentrations and glycemic indices more than vitamin D supplementation alone or a placebo. A total of 78 women and men completed this intervention in 3 groups: a vitamin D and magnesium group (1000 IU vitamin D3 and 360 mg magnesium glycinate), a vitamin D group (1000 IU vitamin D3), and a placebo group. Despite a significant increase in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in the vitamin D and magnesium group compared with the placebo group (difference = 5.63; CI, -10.0 to -1.21; P = .001) post-intervention, there were no differences in serum concentrations of total osteocalcin, glucose, insulin, and adiponectin or the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) among groups (P > .05 for all). Additionally, total osteocalcin (β = -0.310, P = .081), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (β = 0.004, P = .986), and C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide (β = 0.426, P = .057), were not significant predictors of HOMA-IR after the intervention. Combined supplementation was not associated with short-term improvements in glycemic indices or bone turnover markers in participants who were overweight and obese in our study. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03134417).

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an established therapeutic strategy for the treatment of malignant (leukemia and lymphoma) and non-malignant (thalassemia, anemia, and immunodeficiency) hematopoietic diseases. Thanks to the improvement in patient care and the development of more tolerable conditioning treatments, which has extended the applicability of therapy to the elderly, a growing number of patients have successfully benefited from HSCT therapy and, more importantly, HSCT transplant-related mortality has consistently reduced in recent years. However, concomitantly to long term patient survival, a growing incidence of late HSCT-related sequelae has been reported, being variably associated with negative effects on quality of life of patients and having a non-negligible impact on healthcare systems. The most predominantly observed HSCT-caused complications are chronic alterations of the endocrine system and metabolism, which endanger post-operative quality of life and increase morbidity and mortality of transplanted patients. Here, we specifically review the current knowledge on HSCT-derived side-effects on the perturbation of mineral metabolism; in particular, the homeostasis of calcium, focusing on current reports regarding osteoporosis and recurrent renal dysfunctions that have been observed in a percentage of HSC-transplanted patients. Possible secondary implications of conditioning treatments for HSCT on the physiology of the parathyroid glands and calcium homeostasis, alone or in association with HSCT-caused renal and bone defects, are critically discussed as well.

Intake of Calcium, Magnesium, and Phosphorus and Risk of Pancreatic Cancer in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial. JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN NUTRITION ASSOCIATION 2022; 41:747-757.

Abstract
ObjectiveFew epidemiological studies have investigated the associations between calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus intake and pancreatic cancer. We examined these associations in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial.MethodsDiet was assessed using the Dietary Questionnaire (DQX) at baseline in the intervention arm and the Dietary History Questionnaire (DHQ) in 1999 or around the third anniversary of randomization in both the intervention and control arms. During a median follow-up of 12.2 years, 279 cases of pancreatic cancer occurred from 58,477 participants who completed DQX; 380 cases arose from 101,622 participants who responded to DHQ over a median follow-up of 8.9 years. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).ResultsTotal calcium intake was inversely associated with pancreatic cancer [HR (95% CI) for the fourth vs. the first quartiles in the DHQ cohort: 0.67 (0.47, 0.96); p-trend: 0.035]. An inverse association was also observed for total magnesium intake [HR (95% CI) for the fourth vs. the first quartiles in the DQX cohort: 0.61 (0.37, 1.00); p-trend: 0.023]. Reduced risk associated with total calcium intake was confined to subjects with a high fat intake (>73 g/day) in the DHQ cohort (p-interaction: 0.16).ConclusionsThere was not a significant association between dietary phosphorus intake and pancreatic cancer risk in both cohorts. Total intake of calcium and magnesium are associated with a lower pancreatic cancer risk. The effect of total calcium intake was modified by fat intake.

Abstract
Experimental studies suggest that abnormal levels of Ca, Mg and phosphorus are implicated in pancreatic carcinogenesis. We investigated the associations between intakes of these minerals and the risk of pancreatic cancer in a case-control study conducted in 1994-1998. Cases of pancreatic cancer (n 150) were recruited from all hospitals in the metropolitan area of the Twin Cities and Mayo Clinic, Minnesota. Controls (n 459) were randomly selected from the general population and frequency matched to cases by age, sex and race. All dietary variables were adjusted for energy intake using the residual method prior to data analysis. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the associations between intake of three nutrients examined and the risk of pancreatic cancer. Total intake of Ca (936 v. 1026 mg/d) and dietary intake of Mg (315 v. 331 mg/d) and phosphorus (1350 v. 1402 mg/d) were significantly lower in cases than in controls. After adjustment for confounders, there were not significant associations of total and dietary intakes of Ca, Mg and phosphorus with the risk of pancreatic cancer. In addition, no significant interactions exist between intakes of these minerals and total fat on pancreatic cancer risk. In conclusion, the present study does not suggest that intakes of Ca, Mg and phosphorus were significantly associated with the risk of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Disorders of the divalent ions (magnesium, calcium, and phosphorous) are frequently encountered in patients with cancer. Of these, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia, hypercalcemia, and hypophosphatemia are seen most commonly. These electrolyte disturbances may be related to the underlying malignancy or due to side effects of anticancer therapy. When caused by a paraneoplastic process, these abnormalities may portend a poor prognosis. Importantly, the development of severe electrolyte derangements may be associated with symptoms that negatively impact quality of life, preclude the administration of critical chemotherapeutic agents, or lead to life-threatening complications that require hospitalization and emergent treatment. In accordance, prompt recognition and treatment of these disorders is key to improving outcomes in patients living with cancer. This review will discuss selected derangements of the divalent ions seen in this population, with a focus on paraneoplastic and therapy-associated etiologies.

The Role of Diet in Bone and Mineral Metabolism and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13072328.

Abstract
Bone disorders are a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), obesity and gut malabsorption. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is defined as an appropriate increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, driven by either reduced serum calcium or increased phosphate concentrations, due to an underlying condition. The available evidence on the effects of dietary advice on secondary hyperparathyroidism confirms the benefit of a diet characterized by decreased phosphate intake, avoiding low calcium and vitamin D consumption (recommended intakes 1000-1200 mg/day and 400-800 UI/day, respectively). In addition, low protein intake in CKD patients is associated with a better control of SHPT risk factors, although its strength in avoiding hyperphosphatemia and the resulting outcomes are debated, mostly for dialyzed patients. Ultimately, a consensus on the effect of dietary acid loads in the prevention of SHPT is still lacking. In conclusion, a reasonable approach for reducing the risk for secondary hyperparathyroidism is to individualize dietary manipulation based on existing risk factors and concomitant medical conditions. More studies are needed to evaluate long-term outcomes of a balanced diet on the management and prevention of secondary hyperparathyroidism in at-risk patients at.

Abstract
Importance Hypocalcemia is a common complication of total thyroidectomy. Objectives To identify factors associated with hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy and to explore the association between hypocalcemia, magnesium disorders, and costs of care. Design, Setting, and Participants A retrospective cross-sectional analysis was performed using data from the MarketScan Commercial Claim and Encounters database on 126 766 commercially insured patients younger than 65 years undergoing total thyroidectomy between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2012. Statistical analysis was performed from January 1, 2016, to May 30, 2019. Main Outcomes and Measures Short- and long-term hypocalcemia and the costs of care were examined using multivariable regression modeling. Results Among the 126 766 patients in the study (81.6% women; mean age, 46.5 years [range, 18-64 years]), postoperative hypocalcemia was present in 19.1% of patients in the initial 30-day postoperative period and in 4.4% of patients at 1 year. Magnesium disorders were present in 2.1% of patients at the time of surgery. Short- and long-term hypocalcemia were significantly more likely in women (short-term: odds ratio [OR], 1.39 [95% CI, 1.29-1.50]; long-term: OR, 1.69 [95% CI, 1.52-1.89]), those younger than 40 years (short-term: OR for ages 40-64 years, 0.83 [95% CI, 0.78-0.87]; long-term: OR for ages 40-64 years, 0.73 [95% CI, 0.67-0.79]), those with a diagnosis of thyroiditis (short-term: OR, 1.48 [95% CI, 1.16-1.89]; long-term: OR, 1.60 [95% CI, 1.13-2.26]) or cancer (short-term: OR, 1.32 [95% CI, 1.05-1.67]; long-term: OR, 1.17 [95% CI, 0.83-1.63]), vitamin D deficiency (short-term: OR, 1.96 [95% CI, 1.74-2.21]; long-term: OR, 3.72 [95% CI, 3.30-4.18]), concurrent lateral neck dissection (short-term: OR, 1.51 [95% CI, 1.37-1.66]; long-term: OR, 1.95 [95% CI, 1.69-2.26]), concurrent central neck dissection (short-term: OR, 1.15 [95% CI, 1.07-1.24]; long-term: OR, 1.25 [95% CI, 1.12-1.40]), intraoperative parathyroid (short-term: OR, 1.58 [95% CI, 1.46-1.71]; and long-term: OR, 2.05 [95% CI, 1.82-2.31]) or recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (short-term: OR, 1.49 [95% CI, 1.27-1.74]; long-term: OR, 2.04 [95% CI, 1.64-2.54]), and magnesium disorders (short-term: OR, 8.40 [95% CI, 7.21-9.79]; long-term: OR, 25.23 [95% CI, 19.80-32.17]). Compared with the initial postoperative period, the odds of hypocalcemia decreased by 90.0% (OR, 0.10 [95% CI, 0.09-0.11]) at 6 months and 93.0% (OR, 0.07 [95% CI, 0.06-0.08]) at 1 year. After controlling for all other variables, magnesium disorders were associated with the highest odds of short- and long-term postoperative hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia ($3392) and magnesium disorders ($14 314) were associated with increased mean incremental 1-year costs of care. Conclusions and Relevance Hypocalcemia is common after total thyroidectomy but resolves in most patients by 1 year. Magnesium disorders are significantly independently associated with short- and long-term hypocalcemia and are associated with greater costs of care. These data suggest a potentially modifiable target to reduce the incidence and cost of long-term hypocalcemia at patient and systemic levels.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the mainstay of therapy for all gastric acid related diseases and are commonly used in current clinical practice. Although widely regarded as safe, PPIs have been associated with a variety of adverse effects, including hypomagnesaemia. The postulated mechanism of PPI-related hypomagnesaemia involves inhibition of intestinal magnesium absorption via transient receptor potential melastin (TRPM) 6 and 7 cation channels. PPIinduced hypomagnesaemia (PPIH) has become a well recognized phenomenon since it was first reported in 2006. Clinical concerns arise from growing number of case reports presenting PPIH as a consequence of long-term PPI use, with more than 30 cases published to date. In this article, we report 2 cases of PPIH associated with the use of pantoprazole. Both patients presented with severe hypomagnesaemia and hypocalcaemia. One of them had associated hypokalemia and cardiac arrhythmia. A casual relation with PPIs postulated and supported by resolution of electrolyte abnormalities after discontinuation of PPIs.

Hypomagnesemia and incidence of osteoradionecrosis in patients with head and neck cancers. Head Neck 2020; 43:613-621. [PMID: 33094893 DOI: 10.1002/hed.26510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Revised: 09/08/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to determine whether hypomagnesemia predicts osteoradionecrosis development in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx and oral cavity who received platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation with or without induction therapy. METHODS We reviewed data from patients with head and neck cancers who had undergone chemoradiation with weekly cisplatin/carboplatin between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2014 at our institution. Pathologic features, laboratory test results, disease stage, and social histories were recorded. The association between hypomagnesemia and osteoradionecrosis was analyzed controlling for known confounding factors. RESULTS Hypomagnesemia during cancer treatment was associated with osteoradionecrosis development (HR = 2.72, P = .037) independent of total radiation dose (HR = 1.07, P = .260) and smoking history (HR = 2.05, P = .056) among the patients who received platinum-based induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiation. CONCLUSIONS Hypomagnesemia was predictive of the development of osteoradionecrosis in patients with cancers of the oropharynx and oral cavity receiving platinum-based induction followed by concurrent chemoradiation.

Abstract
The most common causes of tetany are hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia, and alkalosis. Most case reports of tetany in the literature include some combination of the above metabolic derangements leading to non-life-threatening symptoms. We present a unique case of severe life-threatening tetany in a 38-year-old female with a history of Crohn’s disease. She was previously dependent on total parenteral nutrition (TPN) but discontinued TPN two weeks prior to presentation due to the improvement of her Crohn’s symptoms with a new medication regimen. We propose that malabsorption led to multiple electrolyte abnormalities, resulting in acute tetany that subsequently caused rhabdomyolysis. This case reviews the most common causes of acute tetany and highlights the interaction between electrolytes implicated in both tetany and rhabdomyolysis. It also emphasizes the importance of considering tetany as a diagnosis in a patient with unstable vital signs and diffuse muscle spasms.

Magnesemia: an independent risk factor of hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy. Cancer Manag Res 2019; 11:8135-8144.

Abstract
Background This study was designed to investigate the impact of serum magnesium (Mg) levels on hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy. Patients and methods In total, 242 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer were retrospectively analyzed. Results Multivariate regression analysis showed hypomagnesemia was an independent risk factor for hypocalcemia (P<0.001). While Mg in low levels (0.66 mmol/L ≤ Po-Mg ≤0.74 mmol/L) increased the risk of hypocalcemia, postoperative serum Ca (Po-Ca) levels were significantly lower in patients with hypomagnesemia than in patients with normomagnesemia (P=0.01), and the former patients suffered significant decreases in serum Ca (P=0.02). Compared to patients with a mild decline of serum Mg after surgery (ΔMg <0.17), serum Ca decline significantly increased (P<0.001) in patients with a severe decline of serum Mg (ΔMg ≥0.17), while the change in amounts of parathyroid hormone (PTH) after surgery was similar between the two groups (P>0.05). In patients with normal Po-Ca levels, hypomagnesemia increased the risk of symptoms related to hypocalcemia by 4.478 times (OR =5.478, 95% CI 1.724–17.403). Conclusion Hypomagnesemia, or even a low serum Mg level within the normal range, can increase the risk of hypocalcemia. After excluding the potential effects of PTH on serum magnesium and calcium, serum Mg reduction is one of the most important factors that influences postoperative serum Ca reduction. What’s more, hypomagnesemia is closely linked with symptoms.

Abstract
ABSTRACT: An outbreak of hypomagnesemia is reported in Holstein dairy cattle grazing lush oat (Avena sativa) pasture in Uruguay. Nine of 270 (3.3%) cows died in May-July (autumn-winter) 2017. These nine cows were from 2 to 9-years-old (1st-6th lactation), with 22 to 194 days of lactation and 15.8 to 31.4L of daily milk production. Two cows with acute sialorrhea, muscle spasms, lateral recumbency, weakness, opisthotonos, and coma, were euthanized and necropsied. No significant macroscopic or histological lesions were found. One untreated clinically-affected cow and eight out of 14 clinically healthy cows of the same group under similar management and production conditions had low serum levels of Mg (lower than 0.7mmol/L). Secondarily, both clinically affected cows and six out of 14 healthy cows had low serum Ca levels. The K/(Ca+Mg) ratio of two oat forages, corn silage, and ration was 5.10, 7.73, 2.45, and 0.85, respectively. A K/(Ca+Mg) ratio lower than 2.2 represents a risk for hypomagnesemia. The difference between the contribution-requirement of minerals in the diet was established and a daily deficiency of Mg (-0.36g/day), Na (-25.2g/day) and Ca (-9.27g/day) was found, while K (184.42g/day) and P (12.81g/day) were in excess. The diet was reformulated to correct the deficiencies and the disease was controlled by the daily administration of 80g of magnesium oxide, 80g of calcium carbonate and 30g sodium chloride per cow. It is concluded that hypomagnesemia is a cause of mortality in dairy cattle in Uruguay, and that the condition can be prevented by appropriate diet formulation.

Abstract
Trace elements are important for human health and development. The body requires specific micronutrients to function, with aberrant changes associated with a variety of negative health outcomes. Despite this evidence, the status and function of micronutrients during pregnancy are relatively unknown and more information is required to ensure that women receive optimal intakes for foetal development. Changes in trace element status have been associated with pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), pre-eclampsia (PE), intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and preterm birth. Measuring micronutrients with methodologies such as elemental metabolomics, which involves the simultaneous quantification and characterisation of multiple elements, could provide insight into gestational disorders. Identifying unique and subtle micronutrient changes may highlight associated proteins that are affected underpinning the pathophysiology of these complications, leading to new means of disease diagnosis. This review will provide a comprehensive summary of micronutrient status during pregnancy, and their associations with gestational disorders. Furthermore, it will also comment on the potential use of elemental metabolomics as a technique for disease characterisation and prediction.

Abstract
Distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) manifests either as Complete/Classical form or Incomplete/Latent Form. Distal RTA causes normal anion gap metabolic acidosis and hypokalemia. Interstitial Nephritis is the most frequent renal manifestation of Sjogren's, which presents as Distal RTA in 25-40% of patients with Sjogren's syndrome. Magnesium deficiency is frequently associated with hypokalemia. Although serum calcium is the main physiological control for the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by the parathyroid, serum magnesium can also exert similar effects. While low levels of magnesium stimulate the secretion of PTH, very low serum concentrations tend to induce a paradoxical block of PTH release by activation of the alpha-subunits of heterotrimeric G-proteins. This mimicks the activation of calcium sensing receptor leading to inhibition of PTH secretion. Here we describe the case history of a 35-year-old lady who presented to our hospital with severe hypokalemia due to distal RTA and perhaps had a paradoxical block of PTH secretion in the setting of severe hypomagnesemia.

Abstract
Magnesium is the second most common intracellular cation and serves as an important metabolic cofactor to over 300 enzymatic reactions throughout the human body. Among its various roles, magnesium modulates calcium entry and release from sarcoplasmic reticulum and regulates ATP pumps in myocytes and neurons, thereby regulating cardiac and neuronal excitability. Therefore, deficiency of this essential mineral may result in serious cardiovascular and neurologic derangements. In this case, we present the clinical course of a 76-year-old woman who presented with marked cardiac and neurological signs and symptoms which developed as a result of severe hypomagnesemia. The patient promptly responded to magnesium replacement once the diagnosis was established. We herein discuss the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of severe hypomagnesemia and emphasize the implications of magnesium deficiency in the cardiovascular and central nervous systems. Furthermore, this case highlights the importance of having high vigilance for hypomagnesemia in the appropriate clinical setting.

Abstract
Background To investigate the role of magnesium in biochemical and symptomatic hypocalcemia, a retrospective study was conducted. Methods Less-than-total thyroidectomy patients were excluded from the final analysis. Identified the risk factors of biochemical and symptomatic hypocalcemia, and investigated the correlation by logistic regression and correlation test respectively. Results A total of 304 patients were included in the final analysis. General incidence of hypomagnesemia was 23.36%. Logistic regression showed that gender (female) (OR = 2.238, p = 0.015) and postoperative hypomagnesemia (OR = 2.010, p = 0.017) were independent risk factors for biochemical hypocalcemia. Both Pearson and partial correlation tests indicated there was indeed significant relation between calcium and magnesium. However, relative decreasing of iPTH (>70%) (6.691, p < 0.001) and hypocalcemia (2.222, p = 0.046) were identified as risk factors of symptomatic hypocalcemia. The difference remained significant even in normoparathyroidism patients. Conclusions Postoperative hypomagnesemia was independent risk factor of biochemical hypocalcemia. Relative decline of iPTH was predominating in predicting symptomatic hypocalcemia.

Abstract
Hypomagnesemia is often associated with coexisting electrolyte abnormalities like hypokalemia and hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia has been shown to be secondary to hypoparathyroidism induced by hypomagnesemia. Here, we discuss a case of a patient with severe hypomagnesemia and associated hypocalcemia. A 38-year-old lady was admitted to the hospital for weakness of lower extremities and an eventual fall. The exam was significant for decreased motor strength and some paresthesias. The laboratory data was significant for hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia, and low parathyroid level in the face of hypocalcemia. After replacing magnesium, the parathyroid hormone levels normalized and led to eventual correction of calcium levels without any additional calcium replacement therapy. There was complete symptom resolution with correction of electrolyte abnormalities. This case highlights the importance of looking for all associated abnormalities in a patient with hypomagnesemia and starting the replacement therapy by first replacing the magnesium and then the others as needed. Replacing the magnesium alone may correct the hypoparathyroidism and eliminate the need for calcium replacement.

Abstract
Hypoparathyroidism (HypoPT) is a rare (orphan) endocrine disease with low calcium and inappropriately low (insufficient) circulating parathyroid hormone levels, most often in adults secondary to thyroid surgery. Standard treatment is activated vitamin D analogues and calcium supplementation and not replacement of the lacking hormone, as in other hormonal deficiency states. The purpose of this guideline is to provide clinicians with guidance on the treatment and monitoring of chronic HypoPT in adults who do not have end-stage renal disease. We intend to draft a practical guideline, focusing on operationalized recommendations deemed to be useful in the daily management of patients. This guideline was developed and solely sponsored by The European Society of Endocrinology, supported by CBO (Dutch Institute for Health Care Improvement) and based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) principles as a methodological base. The clinical question on which the systematic literature search was based and for which available evidence was synthesized was: what is the best treatment for adult patients with chronic HypoPT? This systematic search found 1100 articles, which was reduced to 312 based on title and abstract. The working group assessed these for eligibility in more detail, and 32 full-text articles were assessed. For the final recommendations, other literature was also taken into account. Little evidence is available on how best to treat HypoPT. Data on quality of life and the risk of complications have just started to emerge, and clinical trials on how to optimize therapy are essentially non-existent. Most studies are of limited sample size, hampering firm conclusions. No studies are available relating target calcium levels with clinically relevant endpoints. Hence it is not possible to formulate recommendations based on strict evidence. This guideline is therefore mainly based on how patients are managed in clinical practice, as reported in small case series and based on the experiences of the authors.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca) serve vital roles in the human body and are essential components of nutrition support therapy. Regulation of P and regulation of Ca in the body are closely interrelated, and P and Ca homeostasis can be affected by several factors, including disease states, clinical condition, severity of illness, and medications. Nutrition support clinicians must understand these factors to prevent and treat P and Ca disorders in patients receiving nutrition support therapy. This review provides an overview of P and Ca for the adult nutrition support clinician, with some emphasis on the hospitalized inpatient.

Abstract
The extent to which the 12 week separate and combined administration of vanadium (as sodium metavanadate--SMV, 0.125 mg V per ml) and magnesium (as magnesium sulphate--MS, 0.06 mg Mg per ml) affects bone mineral status and micromorphology as well as the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in femoral diaphysis (FD) was examined in male rats. The bone chemical composition of SMV-exposed rats was also investigated. SMV alone or in combination with MS (as SMV-MS) reduced the levels of MgFD (by 21% and 20%) and PFD (by 12% and 9%), lowered the CaFD content (by 7% and 10%), and caused a rise of the FeFD concentration (by 22.5% and 17%), compared with the control; SMV alone also reduced and enhanced the KFD and ZnFD concentrations (by 19% and 15%, respectively) but remained without significant effect on the femoral bone surface roughness (FBSR), whereas MS alone lowered the VFD, PFD, and CuFD levels (by 42%, 10%, and 20.6%), reduced FBSR, and created the regular femoral bone surface shape. The SMV-MS combination also induced a decline and rise in the levels of CuFD (by 30%) and NaFD (by 15%), respectively, compared with the control and the MS-supplemented rats; elevated ALPFD activity (by 24%, 35%, and 40%), compared with the control, SMV-exposed, and MS-supplemented animals; and increased FBSR. Relationships between the root mean square roughness (Sq) and skewness (Ssk): Sq [MS < SMV < Control < SMV-MS] ⇔ Ssk [SMV-MS > Control > SMV > MS], ALPFD and Sq: ALPFD⇔ Sq [SMV-MS > Control > SMV > MS], and between other variables were demonstrated. A partial limitation of the drop in the PFD and KFD levels and normalization of the ZnFD concentration were a consequence of the V-Mg antagonistic interaction whereas a consequence of the V-Mg synergistic interaction was the increase in the NaFD level, ALPFD activity, and FBSR. Ca10(PO4)5(SiO4)(OH) was part of the inorganic component of the bone of the SMV-exposed rats.

Abstract
Studies suggest a link between magnesium status and osteoporosis. One barrier to more conclusive research on the potential relation is measuring intestinal magnesium absorption (MgA), which requires the use of stable isotopes and a ≥6-d stool or 3-d urine collection. We evaluated alternative methods of measuring MgA. We administered 2 stable magnesium isotopes to 15 postmenopausal women (cohort 1) aged 62 ± 8 y with a dietary magnesium intake of 345 ± 72 mg/d. Participants fasted from 1200 h to 0700 h and then consumed breakfast with ∼23 mg of oral ²⁶Mg and ∼11 mg of i.v. ²⁵Mg. We measured magnesium isotope concentrations in 72-h urine, spot urine (36, 48, 60, and 72 h), and spot serum (1, 3, and 5 h) samples collected after isotope dosing. We calculated MgA using the dose-corrected fraction of isotope concentrations from the 72-h urine collection. We validated new methods in 10 postmenopausal women (cohort 2) aged 59 ± 5 y with a dietary magnesium intake of 325 ± 122 mg/d. In cohort 1, MgA based on the 72-h urine collection was 0.28 ± 0.08. The 72-h MgA correlated most highly with 0-24 h urine MgA value alone (ρ = 0.95, P < 0.001) or the mean of the 0-24 h urine and the 3-h (ρ = 0.93, P < 0.001) or 5-h (ρ = 0.96, P < 0.001) serum MgA values. In cohort 2, Bland-Altman bias was lowest (-0.003, P = 0.82) using means of the 0-24 h urine and 3-h serum MgA values. We conclude that means of 0-24 h urine and 3-h serum MgA provide a reasonable estimate of 72-h MgA. However, if researchers seek to identify small changes in MgA, we recommend a 3-d urine or extended stool collection.

Nationwide data on municipal drinking water and hip fracture: could calcium and magnesium be protective? A NOREPOS study. Bone 2013; 57:84-91.

Abstract
Norway has a high incidence of hip fractures, and the incidence varies by degree of urbanization. This variation may reflect a difference in underlying environmental factors, perhaps variations in the concentration of calcium and magnesium in municipal drinking water. A trace metal survey (1986-1991) in 556 waterworks (supplying 64% of the Norwegian population) was linked geographically to hip fractures from hospitals throughout the country (1994-2000). In all, 5472 men and 13,604 women aged 50-85years suffered a hip fracture. Poisson regression models were fitted, adjusting for age, urbanization degree, region of residence, type of water source, and pH. The concentrations of calcium and magnesium in drinking water were generally low. An inverse association was found between concentration of magnesium and risk of hip fracture in both genders (IRR men highest vs. lowest tertile=0.80, 95% CI: 0.74, 0.87; IRR women highest vs. lowest tertile=0.90, 95% CI: 0.85, 0.95), but no consistent association between calcium and hip fracture risk was observed. The highest tertile of urbanization degree (city), compared to the lowest (rural), was related to a 23 and 24% increase in hip fracture risk in men and women, respectively. The association between magnesium and hip fracture did not explain the variation in hip fracture risk between city and rural areas. Magnesium in drinking water may have a protective role against hip fractures; however this association should be further investigated.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly used in clinical practice for the prevention and treatment of peptic ulcer, gastritis, esophagitis and gastroesophageal reflux. Hypomagnesemia has recently been recognized as a side effect of PPIs. Low magnesium levels may cause symptoms from several systems, some of which being potentially serious, such as tetany, seizures and arrhythmias. It seems that PPIs affect the gastrointestinal absorption of magnesium. Clinicians should be vigilant in order to timely consider and prevent or reverse hypomagnesemia in patients who take PPIs, especially if they are prone to this electrolyte disorder.

Abstract
CONTEXT Magnesium is involved in the homeostasis of calcium metabolism, and magnesium deficiency may lead to clinically significant hypocalcemia. We have had two cases in our department in which treated hypoparathyroid patients with stable calcium levels developed hypercalcemia in conjunction with supplementary magnesium use. To our knowledge, there has been no prospective study looking at the effect of supplementary magnesium on calcium homeostasis in hypoparathyroid patients. OBJECTIVE The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate whether magnesium treatment affects plasma calcium levels in hypoparathyroid patients. DESIGN AND SETTING We conducted a prospective, two-phase, uncontrolled treatment trial at a referral center of endocrine disorders. PARTICIPANTS We enrolled treated (calcium + vitamin D analog) hypoparathyroid patients with normal plasma magnesium levels. INTERVENTION Three weeks of treatment with oral magnesium (350 mg/d) were followed by 2 wk off treatment. MEASURES We compared the plasma ionized calcium level after 3 wk of treatment to the pretreatment value. Plasma calcium, phosphate, magnesium, and creatinine levels were measured before treatment, after 3 wk on magnesium, and 2 wk after stopping magnesium treatment. RESULTS Ten patients completed the trial. Supplementary treatment with magnesium for 3 wk did not change calcium levels in these patients. Magnesium supplementation induced a small but statistically significant increase in the plasma magnesium level, but levels of phosphate and creatinine remained stable. CONCLUSIONS Magnesium supplementation did not influence plasma calcium levels in treated hypoparathyroid patients.

Abstract
Extracellular content in magnesium represents about 1% of total body content, of which plasma magnesium is thus a poor reflect. Hypomagnesaemia is defined by a value lesser than 0.65mmol/L. Its incidence in hospitalized patients ranges between 10 and 15%. Identification of the physiopathology of hypomagnesaemia relies first upon concomitant measurement of plasma and urinary magnesium concentration. Daily magnesium excretion lesser than 1mmol/L or EFMg lesser than 1% sign extra renal origin, due to either low magnesium intake, low intestinal absorption of magnesium or derivation of extracellular magnesium toward bone, such as in bone reparation process after hyperparathyroidism surgery. Daily magnesium excretion higher than 2mmol/L concomitant to hypomagnesaemia indicates native or acquired renal loss of magnesium. Congenital renal and extra-renal losses of magnesium are mainly related to rare monogenic disease, and are inconstantly associated with a renal loss of sodium, potassium and calcium. Recent progress in the genetics of this rare diseases have greatly improved the knowledge about proteins involved in intestinal abortion, renal renal tubular re-absorption of magnesium and its regulations. Hypermagnesemia is a rarer metabolic disorder than hypomagnesemia (about 5% of hospitalized patients). Asymptomatic below 2mmol/L, it progressively alters neuromuscular transmission, autonomic sympathic activity and cardiac conduction, with vital risk above 7mol/L. It is due to acute magnesium input into extracellular volume most often associated with a decrease in glomerular filtration rate, limiting the high physiological ability to excrete magnesium input.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is now growing evidence that magnesium (Mg) deficiency is implicated in type 2 diabetes and its complications. However, it has not been fully elucidated whether hypomagnesemia is a predictor of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in type 2 diabetic nephropathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 455 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients (144 with type 2 diabetic nephropathy and 311 with nondiabetic CKD) who were hospitalized at Osaka General Medical Center for a CKD educational program between April 2001 and December 2007. The primary outcome was progression to renal replacement therapy. Participants were categorized based on serum Mg level into Low-Mg (serum Mg level ≤1.8 mg/dL) and High-Mg (serum Mg level >1.8 mg/dL) groups with the previously published normal lower limit chosen as the cutoff point. RESULTS Of the subjects with type 2 diabetic nephropathy, 102 progressed to ESRD during follow-up (median, 23 months). A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model showed that after adjustment for various demographic factors and laboratory data, the Low-Mg group had a 2.12-fold higher risk of ESRD than the High-Mg group (95% CI 1.28-3.51; P = 0.004). In contrast, 135 of the nondiabetic CKD subjects progressed to ESRD during follow-up (median, 44 months). No significant difference in outcome was found between the Low- and High-Mg groups of this population (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.15; 95% CI 0.70-1.90; P = 0.57). CONCLUSIONS Hypomagnesemia is a novel predictor of ESRD in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy.

Acute-onset hypomagnesemia-induced hypocalcemia caused by the refractoriness of bones and renal tubules to parathyroid hormone. J Bone Miner Metab 2011; 29:752-5.

Abstract
Chronic hypomagnesemia is closely associated with hypocalcemia, which is caused by impaired parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion or the refractoriness of bone and renal tubules to PTH. The dominant mechanism of acute-onset, hypomagnesemia-induced hypocalcemia is currently unclear. An 83-year-old man who had undergone chemotherapy with carboplatin for prostate cancer suffered from acute diarrhea and finger paresthesia. Laboratory data confirmed hypocalcemia as well as hypomagnesemia. Urinary calcium levels were not measured. However, the urinary fractional excretion of Mg (FE(Mg)) was elevated. Despite elevated PTH levels, the renal tubular maximal reabsorption rate of phosphate to GFR (TmP/GFR) was elevated, and bone formation and resorption markers were suppressed. A magnesium loading test revealed a clear magnesium deficiency. After administration of magnesium, bone marker levels were increased, and TmP/GFR was reduced to normal levels, despite the persistent elevation of PTH. Serum calcium levels eventually increased to approximately the reference range. Clinical histories and these observations both suggest that when patients with hypomagnesemia-induced hypocalcemia rapidly lose magnesium through complications such as diarrhea, the primary cause may be the refractoriness of bone and renal tubules to PTH, rather than impaired PTH secretion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduced activity, older age, and abnormal bone mineral status are considered as important determinants of poor bone health in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The independent contribution of these factors toward skeletal morbidity (SM) requires further investigation. AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of activity, age, and mineral status over the first 12 months of chemotherapy on subsequent SM. PATIENTS AND METHODS The medical records of 56 children presenting with ALL between 2003 and 2007 and treated on UKALL2003 were reviewed for the number of inpatient days over the first 12 months of chemotherapy as a surrogate marker of inactivity and lack of well-being. Data for serum Ca, albumin, Mg, and Pho were also collected over this period. SM was defined as any episode of musculoskeletal pain or fractures. RESULTS The median duration of inpatient days over the first 12 months of treatment in children with no SM was 58 days (40,100), whereas the median number of inpatient days during the first 12 months in those children with any SM, musculoskeletal pain only, or fractures only was 83 days (54,131), 81 days (52,119) and 91 days (59,158), respectively (P=0.003). Children with SM and fractures particularly had lower levels of serum Ca, Mg, and Pho compared with those without SM over the first 12 months of chemotherapy. There was a higher risk of SM in those who were diagnosed after the age of 8 years (P=0.001, odds ratio=16, 95% confidence interval: 3.80). Multiple regression analysis showed that the incidence of SM only had a significant independent association with age at diagnosis (P=0.001) and the number of inpatient days (P=0.03) over the first 12 months (r=23). All children who were diagnosed after the age of 8 years with an inpatient stay of more than 75 days, in the first 12 months of the chemotherapy (n,14) children had some form of SM (odds ratio=64). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of SM in children receiving chemotherapy for ALL is associated with a higher likelihood of being older and having longer periods of inpatient stay. The close link between age and changes in bone mineral status may be one explanation for the increased bone morbidity in ALL children.

Effects of cyclosporine, tacrolimus and rapamycin on renal calcium transport and vitamin D metabolism. Am J Nephrol 2011; 34:87-94.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormalities in mineral metabolism are common complications of organ transplantation. The role of immunosuppressive agents in alteration of mineral metabolism is not clear. METHODS We conducted an animal study to investigate the effects of cyclosporine A (CsA), tacrolimus, and sirolimus on renal calcium, magnesium and vitamin D metabolism. RESULTS CsA and tacrolimus induced a 2- to 3-fold and 1.6- to 1.8-fold increase in urinary calcium and magnesium excretion, respectively, while rapamycin had no effects on calcium, but doubled the urinary magnesium excretion. CsA and tacrolimus, but not rapamycin, elevated serum 1,25(OH)(2) vitamin D without affecting the parathyroid hormone level. CsA and tacrolimus reduced mRNA abundance in TRPV5 (CsA: 64 ± 3% of control; tacrolimus: 50 ± 3%) calbindin-D28k (CsA: 62 ± 4%; tacrolimus: 43 ± 3%), and vitamin D receptor (CsA: 52 ± 3%; tacrolimus: 58 ± 2%, all p < 0.05). Rapamycin did not affect gene expression in any of studied proteins. The immunofluorescence staining study demonstrated a 50% reduction of TRPV5 and calbindin-D28k by CsA and tacrolimus. CONCLUSION The suppression of VDR by calcineurin inhibitors is probably the underlying mechanism of renal calcium wasting. In spite of an increased 1,25(OH)(2) vitamin D level, the kidney is not able to reserve calcium, suggesting a role of vitamin D resistance that may be related to bone loss.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) is an essential macroelement that is required for cellular energy-dependent reactions involving adenosine triphosphate and for the regulation of calcium channel function. Subclinical hypomagnesemia is common in critically ill humans and animals and increases the severity of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome; worsens the systemic response to endotoxins; and can lead to ileus, cardiac arrhythmias, refractory hypokalemia, and hypocalcemia. This article discusses the clinical signs, consequences, and treatment of hypomagnesemia in horses and describes the association of Mg and endotoxemia, insulin resistance, and brain injury.

Low serum osteoprotegerin levels in normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetes mellitus. Acta Diabetol 2010; 47 Suppl 1:105-10.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to establish whether abnormal mineral metabolism is present in patients with type 1 DM with normal renal function and in the absence of microalbuminuria. Serum levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator for nuclear factor kappa β ligand (RANKL) and other determinants of bone metabolism were measured in 35 patients with type 1 DM and in 25 age-, sex- and ethnicity-matched healthy controls. Serum OPG (1.98 vs. 2.98 pmol/l: P = 0.001), 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (41.1 vs. 48.2 pmol/l: P = 0.035) and magnesium (0.84 vs. 0.89 mmol/l P = 0.029) levels were significantly lower in patients with type 1 DM compared to normal controls. RANKL levels were similar in both groups. The groups did not differ with respect to calcium, phosphate, PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, tubular reabsorption of phosphate and cross-linked N-telopeptides of type 1-collagen levels. Abnormalities of mineral metabolism including low serum OPG and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels occur in patients with type 1 DM with normal renal function and in the absence of microalbuminuria. These abnormalities may promote altered bone metabolism and vascular pathology.
