“…Erythropoiesis occurs from pluripotent stem cells in the bone marrow, with the erythroid progenitor being BFU-E (erythroid explosion-forming unit), which results in colony-forming units (CFU-E), mature erythroid precursors, reticulocytes, and red blood cells [ 126 ]. Erythroid differentiation and maturation occur in erythroblastic islands, and these complex events of proliferation, differentiation, and maturation depend on several factors, such as GATA-binding protein 1 and 2 (GATA 1 and 2), SCF, IGF (insulin-like growth factor), BPA (erythroid burst-promoting activity), IL-3, and EPO (erythropoietin) [ 127 , 128 , 129 , 130 ], in addition to nutritional aspects, like iron, folate, and B12 vitamin [ 131 ]. Yet, the influence of Mg 2+ on the erythropoiesis process in the bone marrow is not clear.…”
