Changes in the Urinary Proteome of Rats After Short-Term Intake of Magnesium L-Threonate(MgT)
摘要
Magnesium (Mg) is an indispensable mineral essential for the vitality of living beings. It predominantly exists in the body in the form of Mg2+. Theodor Günther’s 1980 proposition highlighted magnesium’s role as a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions within the body. Presently, the Enzyme Database catalog lists over 600 enzymes where magnesium acts as cofactors and an additional 200 enzymes where magnesium serves as activators. Magnesium plays a pivotal role in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) metabolism, DNA and RNA synthesis, and protein synthesis. Furthermore, magnesium is crucial in regulating numerous physiological functions, encompassing muscle contraction, blood pressure management, insulin metabolism, cardiac excitability, vasodilation, neurotransmission, and neuromuscular transmission.
