Hypomagnesaemia and Muscle Electrolytes and Metabolites

Abstract: Ten patients, aged 39–61 years, with hypomagnesaemia due to chronic alcoholism (7 cases) or malabsorption (3 cases), have been investigated by assessing the maximum isometric voluntary contraction force (MVC) of the quadriceps femoris muscle (7 cases), laboratory screening (9 cases) and estimating the electrolyte and metabolite content of biopsy specimens from the quadriceps femoris muscle. The MVC ranged from 0.5 to 34 kp and was significantly lower than in 12 apparently healthy normo‐magnesaemic controls (p<… Show more

“…Reduced protein intake leads to muscle breakdown as muscle proteins and amino acids are utilized for fuel (catabolism). Malnutrition also contributes to reduced muscle enzyme capacity and reduced availability of energy substrates (91,92,147,198,293). Finally, patients with chronic lung disease may also take corticosteroids, particularly during exacerbations.…”
