Physiology of Magnesium

Physiology of Magnesium

PHYSIOLOGY

* Involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates. Glycolytic enzymes active process, to oxidize glucose (phosphorylation suburbs). Activates many enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase, hexokinase, fructokinase, creatinine, phosphorylases, diphosphopyridine and phosphoglucomutase.
* Spoke in protein metabolism as a coenzyme in the synthesis that occurs in the cellular ribosome.
* Also taking part in the transfer of methyl groups (transmethylation) and the activation of formate. Cofactor in the carboxylation des reactions.
* Magnesium decreases central nervous system excitability. Participates with phosphorus in the reconstruction of nerve substance and its metabolism. Specific actions consist of magnesium inhibit the release of acetylcholine and counteract the oxidizing effect of potassium ions at the Endplate.
* Magnesium is the second cation of the intracellular environment has a fundamental participation in the electrolytic cell activity in the acid-base and redox phenomena. Play a key role in cellular respiration and cellular exchanges. Read the rest of this entry »
