Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Mg status, using four different methods, in individuals with the MetSyn or T2DM. This study is part of a larger clinical trial that is on-going. Participants arrived at the Clinical and Translational Research Center at the University of Pennsylvania, after an overnight fast, to be evaluated for Mg status. Serum Mg, ionized Mg, RBC Mg, and urinary Mg via the MLT were all assessed. Our 23 participants (10 men, 13 women) were 55.6 plus or minus 9.9 years of age and had a body mass index (BMI) of 35.1 plus or minus 3.6 kg/m2. Serum Mg levels were 1.98 plus or minus 0.2 mg/dL (normal values greater than or equal to 1.8 mg/dL). Ionized Mg concentrations were 0.48 plus or minus 0.05 mmol/L (normal values greater than or equal to 0.5 mmol/L). RBC Mg concentrations were 1.94 plus or minus 0.3 nmol/L (normal values greater than or equal to 1.5 nmol/L). Finally, MLT results were 19.12 plus or minus 9.8% (normal values greater than or equal to 75%).
