Homeostasis of minerals and trace elements in newborns. Part 1. Distribution of magnesium in the body

Abstract

The review highlights the key aspects relating to magnesium homeostasis. It physicochemical state and biological role in the body, content, distribution in body fluids, and various tissues as blood, urine, hair, placenta, spleen, and kidney. Magnesium homeostasis is an area of special interest, but recent research results in perinatal medicine are very poor. Special attention was focused on the methods of assessment of magnesium concentrations in the body and units of measurement. Moreover, we made the accent on the practical importance of scientific data in the functional system «mother-placenta-fetus-newborn».

Keywords:newborn, trace elements, magnesium, magnesium concentrations in tissues
