Magnesium therapy in hyperlipidemy

Introduction: In liver diseases redox homeostasis is altered. Since magnesium plays a key role in the synthesis of several proteins and enzymes, therefore it may be fundamental in the activity of the antioxidant system. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of magnesium polygalacturonate on redox homeostasis in hyperlipidemy. Materials and methods: Male Wistar rats (n=40; 150–200g bw) were divided into four groups (control, control+Mg-treated, hyperlipidemic, hyperlipidemic+Mg-treated). The dose of magnesium was 150mg/kg bw ad libitum. After 9 days rutin laboratory parameters and redox homeostais (p…
