To determine the relationship between low magnesium status and lipids, we divided 27 patients with microscopic hematuria and normal renal function into two groups according to magnesium retention, as measured by a magnesium-loading test, and compared their serum lipid and apolipoproteins. Patients with low magnesium status (n = 7) had significantly lower levels of cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and apolipoprotein A-1 than those with normal magnesium status (n = 20); however, there were no significant differences between the groups in serum concentrations of magnesium and apolipoprotein B. These data suggest that magnesium deficiencies are associated with low serum concentration of HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-1.

D008274 Magnesium A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
D008275 Magnesium Deficiency A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of magnesium in the diet, characterized by anorexia, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, and weakness. Symptoms are paresthesias, muscle cramps, irritability, decreased attention span, and mental confusion, possibly requiring months to appear. Deficiency of body magnesium can exist even when serum values are normal. In addition, magnesium deficiency may be organ-selective, since certain tissues become deficient before others.
