Abstract: | The recognized existence of a circadian pattern in extracellular magnesium balance might mirror either an inherent rhythm in the homeostasis of this ion or dietary factors. Since in vitro insulin enhances cellular magnesium uptake, the circadian rhythm in extracellular magnesium metabolism might be modulated at least in part by carbohydrate intake. To assess this hypothesis, the effects of oral glucose loading on plasma total and ionized magnesium were investigted in lean healthy humans with a negative family history for essential hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Plasma total and ionized magnesium was similar before glucose loading and 30, 60, 90, 180, and 210 min thereafter. It is therefore concluded that in healthy humans the circadian pattern of extracellular magnesium is not modulated by the metabolic and hormonal mechanisms that adjust the concentration of glucose.
