Blood magnesium, and the interaction with calcium, on the risk of high-grade prostate cancer.

Blood magnesium, and the interaction with calcium, on the risk of high-grade prostate cancer.

Ionized calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) compete as essential messengers to regulate cell proliferation and inflammation. We hypothesized that inadequate Mg levels, perhaps relative to Ca levels (e.g. a high Ca/Mg ratio) are associated with greater prostate cancer risk.In this biomarker sub-study of...
