Effect of variations in plasma magnesium concentration on resistance to insulin-mediated glucose disposal in nondiabetic subjects.

Abstract excerpt

Eighteen nondiabetic volunteers were selected for these studies on the basis of their plasma magnesium (Mg) concentrations defined as being either high (> 0.83 mmol/L) or low (< 0.80 mmol/L). Although different in Mg concentration (0.90 +/- 0.02 vs. 0.73 +/- 0.01 mmol/L), the 2 groups were comparable in terms of age, gender distribution, body mass index, and waist to hip girth. Measurements were made of their...
