Magnesium

  • Chapter
Trace Elements and Iron in Human Metabolism

Part of the book series: Topics in Hematology ((TOHE))

Abstract

Magnesium is one of the most plentiful elements on earth, and it is the fourth most abundant cation in the vertebrate. Magnesium is associated with many different biological processes, indicating that it may have a fundamental role in life (Aikawa, 1971, 1976).
