Magnesium homeostasis in cardiac myocytes of Mg-deficient rats.

To study possible modulation of Mg(2+) transport in low Mg(2+) conditions, we fed either a Mg-deficient diet or a Mg-containing diet (control) to Wistar rats for 1-6 weeks. Total Mg concentrations in serum and cardiac ventricular tissues were measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Intracellular...
