The Effect of Magnesium Deficiency on Neurological Disorders: A Narrative Review Article

Abstract: Background: Magnesium (Mg) is an essential element for the body. It is a cofactor for ATP, DNA, and RNA and more than 600 enzymes. As it is similar to Ca2+, this element can also act as a cell signaling molecule and play multiple important roles in the nervous, muscle, and immune systems. Recent studies have associated Mg-deficiency with many neurological disorders, such as cerebral vasospasm, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, and migraine. As it plays such a crucial role in human body, therefore, we summarized the… Show more

“…The exact cause of its pathological changes is still not very clear, although genetic, aging, and oxidative stress have been suggested to be linked to it. It has been shown that the concentration of magnesium in the cortex, white matter, basal ganglia, and brainstem of the PD brain is low [ 385 , 386 ]. However, the association between circulating magnesium and PD is still ambiguous and controversial.…”

“…The details of the mechanism are that Mg blocks the calcium channel of the n-methyl- d -aspartic acid receptor and inhibits the production of glutamatergic excitation signals [ 343 , 344 ]. Mg deficiency is associated with many nervous system diseases, such as cerebral vasospasm, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and migraine [ 345 ]. In vivo experiments in horses have shown that oral or intravenous Mg might reduce the signs of trigeminal neuralgia [ 346 , 347 ].…”
