title: [Magnesium and insulin resistance].
abstract: Recently, there are some reports about correlations between insulin resistance and deficiency of magnesium. It is considered that the some of mechanisms of those correlations are magnesium deficiency fail to activate tyrosine kinase of insulin receptor and hyperinsulinemia stimulates magnesium excretion. It is expected that the exact mechanisms between insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and magnesium metabolism.
