It is known that ovarian hyperstimulation and in vitro fertilization are accompanied by a steady increase in circulating estrogen and progesterone far beyond what is normal for young women. We have recently demonstrated that the biologically active fractions of calcium and magnesium in blood are altered depending on when in the menstrual phase a blood sample is drawn in normal cycling women. The serum ionized Ca/Mg ratio is also altered in accordance with the menstrual cycles. This suggests that the sex steroid hormones may modulate serum levels of ionized Mg and the ionized Ca/Mg ratio. We therefore studied the relationships between sex steroid hormones and the concentrations of ionized magnesium and calcium in the blood of hyperstimulated patients. We were able to demonstrate that with each increment in estrogen, a decrease in ionized Mg occurred, and as the progesterone rose in the blood, the ionized Ca/Mg ratio increased. Our results support the idea that serum estrogen and progesterone levels in women modulate the blood levels of circulating ionized Mg and the serum ionized Ca/Mg ratio.

Positive effects of magnesium supplementation in metabolic syndrome.
Int J Clin Pharmacol Ther
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Magnesium supplementation was tested in a double-blind study involving 27 patients with metabolic syndrome to see its effects on blood pressure and metabolic health.
- After 12 weeks, patients taking magnesium showed significant reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as lower levels of interleukin-6, which is related to inflammation.
- Ionized magnesium levels increased notably, while the calcium-to-magnesium ratio decreased, indicating improvements in magnesium balance without significant changes in serum magnesium levels.
Relationship between serum magnesium, calcium, and parathyroid concentrations in dogs with abnormally low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration and chronic or protein-losing enteropathy.

Background: The relationship between the development of SHPT and ionized magnesium (iMg) concentrations in blood of dogs with chronic gastrointestinal (GI) disease and abnormally low 25(OH)D is undefined.
Objectives: Evaluate relationships between ionized magnesium (iMg), PTH, ionized calcium (iCa), and 25(OH)D in dogs with chronic enteropathy (CE) with or without protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) and abnormal 25(OH)D. Determine whether dogs with CE or PLE, decreased 25(OH)D and SHPT have differences in iMg, iCa, or 25(OH)D when compared to dogs that do not have SHPT.
The cutoff-energies of high-harmonic generation in the laser-ablated plumes of various metal targets (Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Ta, Mo, Al, W, In, Cu, Au, Ti, Ag) driven by near-infrared (0.8-µm) femtosecond laser are investigated and compared. Due to the low ionization potentials of metal atoms, it is believed that the observed high-harmonic cutoffs are contributed by the singly charged or even doubly charged ions.

Article Synopsis
- Carboxylated nanocellulose superabsorbents (SAPs) can be created by modifying cellulose fibers with different cations, affecting their gel structure and properties.
- Seven cations of varying valencies were tested for their influence on the gelation process and superabsorbent performance, showing that the type of counter-ion significantly impacts absorption capacity in deionised water.
- The stability and performance of these gels depend on the cation's valency, with monovalent cations relying on physical interactions for gelation and divalent cations creating stronger ionic cross-links, leading to differences in absorption rates.
Effect of Limestone Particle Size and Potassium Supplementation on Growth Performance, Blood Physiology, and Breast Muscle Myopathy of Male Broiler Chickens.
Front Vet Sci

Prestage Department of Poultry Science, NC State University, Raleigh, NC, United States.
The experiment investigated the effects of limestone particle size and dietary potassium (K) on live performance, blood physiology, and muscle myopathies in broilers raised to 35 days of age. A total of 384 Ross male broilers were placed in 24 floor pens and fed four diets during the starter (0-16 days of age) and grower (17-33 days of age) periods containing two limestone particle sizes (fine: 0.2 mm and coarse: 0.
