Measurements of magnesium in mononuclear cells.
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.
