The COVID-19 pandemic: is there a role for magnesium? Hypotheses and perspectives.

Abstract:

:More and more studies are accumulating about COVID-19. Some aspects of the pathogenesis of the disease recall events occurring in Mg deficiency, such as a drop of T cells, increased plasma concentration of inflammatory cytokines, and endothelial dysfunction. We hypothesize that a low Mg status, which is rather common, might foment the transition from mild to critical clinical manifestations of the disease. Epidemiological, clinical, and fundamental research is needed to clarify the potential role of Mg deficiency in COVID-19.

  • Concentration, compartmentation and metabolic function of intracellular free Mg2+.

    abstract::Intracellular total Mg2+ and free Mg2+ are compartmentalized between cell organelles and within the cytosol. Different values of [Mg2+]i in the cytosol of the same cell type were measured by various investigators. A main reason for the differences is the uncertainty of the dissociation constants used for the Mg furapt...
