“…Magnesium increases prostaglandin E (PGE), regulates intracellular calcium, sodium, potassium and pH, increases nitric oxide, improves endothelial function, reduces oxLDL, reduces HS-CRP, TBxA2, A-Ⅱ, and norepinephrine. Magnesium also improves insulin resistance, glucose and MS, binds in a necessary-cooperative manner with potassium, inducing EDV and BP reduction, reduces CVD and cardiac arrhythmias, decreases carotid IMT, lowers cholesterol, lowers cytokine production, inhibits nuclear factor Kb, reduces oxidative stress and inhibits platelet aggregation to reduce thrombosis [74,[80][81][82][83][84][85][86] . Magnesium is an essential co-factor for the delta-6-desaturase enzyme that is the rate-limiting step for conversion of linoleic acid (LA) to gamma linolenic acid (GLA) [74,80,81,[83][84][85] needed for synthesis of the vasodilator and platelet inhibitor PGE1.…”
