Magnesium
1981
Aikawa, Jerry Kazuo
Abstract: Current knowledge of the biological role of magnesium is synthesized. The presence of magnesium is traced to the evolution of the earth and the beginning of life. Magnesium's role in photosynthesis, cellular processes, physiological processes (body temperature control, hibernation), and geochemistry are discussed. Discussion of magnesium in humans includes information relating to: physiology; deficiencies (adults and children); human diseases (cardiovascular system); excesses; interactions with other cations; central nervous system; and nephrolithiasis (renal stores). Deficiencies in ruminants and experimental animals also are explored. (rkm).
