Magnesium in serum

Magnesium is one of the most important trace elements, ensuring a large number of enzymatic processes in the body, reactions of macroergic compound synthesis, and nucleic acid synthesis. It participates in the processes of nerve impulse conduction and is necessary at all stages of protein molecule synthesis. The role of magnesium in membrane transport processes is important. Magnesium promotes the relaxation of muscle fibers (vasculature and internal organ musculature). The most important value of magnesium is that it serves as a natural anti-stress factor, inhibits excitation processes in the central nervous system, and is an important link in neuromuscular conduction. Most magnesium ions are concentrated inside cells, and only about 1% is found in blood plasma, however, extracellular magnesium concentration is a very important indicator reflecting its content in the body as a whole. Magnesium deficiency in the body can lead to disruption of the central nervous system activity, muscle hypotension, and pathological course of pregnancy. Increased levels are observed in: acute and chronic renal failure, endocrine diseases (hypothyroidism, hypocorticism), and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (rarely).
