Abstract

In this study analysis of magnesium in mononuclear cells was compared to that in muscle in patients and healthy controls. Mononuclear cell concentrations of magnesium expressed as nmol/mg cell protein correlated significantly with muscle biopsy concentrations of magnesium (r = 0,68; p less than 0,001). Hence, we suggest that analyzing of magnesium in mononuclear cells could be an easy and convenient way to estimate tissue magnesium.
