OBJECTIVE The hormonal regulation of magnesium (Mg) metabolism is poorly understood. Preliminary evidence suggests that reproductive hormones may influence Mg concentrations in various tissues. The purpose of this study was to determine if Mg concentrations in blood and muscle are affected by the phase of the menstrual cycle. METHODS Magnesium measures were obtained from 16 women over the course of one complete menstrual cycle. The principal outcome measure was intracellular ionized Mg ([Mg++]i) in skeletal muscle as measured by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Three blood measures (serum, red blood cell, and mononuclear blood cell) of total Mg ([Mg]) were also obtained. RESULTS Mean Mg concentrations were stable across the menstrual cycle with no evidence of a menstrual cycle phase effect for any of the measures. Furthermore, skeletal muscle [Mg++]i was not correlated with any blood measure of [Mg]. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that physiologic fluctuations in reproductive hormones do not influence either blood [Mg] or skeletal muscle [Mg++]i in healthy, regularly cycling women.

D007477 Ions An atom or group of atoms that have a positive or negative electric charge due to a gain (negative charge) or loss (positive charge) of one or more electrons. Atoms with a positive charge are known as CATIONS; those with a negative charge are ANIONS.
D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules.

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.
D008597 Menstrual Cycle The period from onset of one menstrual bleeding (MENSTRUATION) to the next in an ovulating woman or female primate. The menstrual cycle is regulated by endocrine interactions of the HYPOTHALAMUS; the PITUITARY GLAND; the ovaries; and the genital tract. The menstrual cycle is divided by OVULATION into two phases. Based on the endocrine status of the OVARY, there is a FOLLICULAR PHASE and a LUTEAL PHASE. Based on the response in the ENDOMETRIUM, the menstrual cycle is divided into a proliferative and a secretory phase.
