This study examined the modifications of acid gastric secretion caused by magnesium oxide, peroxide, silicate and sulphate in 805 patients with duodenal ulcers; The calcium-magnesium antagonism on the one hand and the acetazolamide - magnesium synergia on the other, were also investigated. Our results show that administration of magnesium, either oral or parenteral, does not significantly modify gastric acid secretion, either basal or stimulated by maximal histamine. Administration of un infusion of calcium gluconate 15 mg/kg body weight, significantly increases gastric acid secretion as compared to basal secretion. Addition of a dose of magnesium sulphate to the infusion antagonises the effect of gastric acid secretion caused by calcium. Administration of 1.5 gr magnesium oxide along with 25 mg acetazolamide per kg/body weight, strengthens the inhibitory effect of acetazolamide upon gastric acid secretion, increasing the proportion of significant inhibitory effects up to 98% of the cases under investigation. Addition of magnesium to the classical therapy antagonises the noxious effects of calcium compounds; the presence of magnesium in the composition of antacid powders proves necessary.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.
D008277 Magnesium Oxide Magnesium oxide (MgO). An inorganic compound that occurs in nature as the mineral periclase. In aqueous media combines quickly with water to form magnesium hydroxide. It is used as an antacid and mild laxative and has many nonmedicinal uses. Magnesia,Oxide, Magnesium
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010545 Peroxides A group of compounds that contain a bivalent O-O group, i.e., the oxygen atoms are univalent. They can either be inorganic or organic in nature. Such compounds release atomic (nascent) oxygen readily. Thus they are strong oxidizing agents and fire hazards when in contact with combustible materials, especially under high-temperature conditions. The chief industrial uses of peroxides are as oxidizing agents, bleaching agents, and initiators of polymerization. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Peroxide
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
