简要总结
In most diabetic patients where low blood magnesium levels occur the important depletion of cellular levels is usually not measured. This study will measure both blood and oral mucosal cell magnesium levels before and after 3 months of supplementation with magnesium tablets (the recommended dietary amount of 336 milligrams per day). These magnesium levels will be correlated with blood levels of indicators of inflammation (eg C reactive protein) to see whether the cellular levels are more reliable than blood levels of magnesium for appropriate treatment of magnesium deficiency in diabetic patients.
详细描述
The anti-inflammatory effects of oral magnesium (Mg) supplementation of diabetic and metabolic syndrome patients with low serum Mg levels have been studied with increased interest in recent years. However, serum magnesium levels only represent less than one percent of total body magnesium; whereas cellular deficiency of Mg is a more reliable parameter to assess repletion of this essential mineral for correlation with indices of inflammation.
The proposed research will compare the efficacy of a 3 month period of treatment with oral Mg of diabetic patients selected for elevations of CRP, TNFα and other markers of inflammation on cellular and serum levels of Mg.
We anticipate that 50 hypomagnesemic diabetic patients will be selected for 3 months of supplementation with 336 mg of Mg lactate tablets. The repletion of serum and oral epithelial cell Mg levels will be correlated with responses of CRP, TNFα, substance P, HgbAIc and oxidative/nitrosative (ROS/RNS) stress parameters before and after treatment. Individuals will be selected from the Dasman Diabetes Institute in Kuwait. With completion of these analyses, a collaborative manuscript with joint authorship will be prepared and submitted for publication.

结局指标
主要结局
The magnesium cellular levels will provide a stronger correlation with antiinflammatory indicators compared to the circulating serum levels of magnesium.
时间窗: One year
50 hypomagnesemic diabetic patients will receive magnesium tablets (\~recommended dietary allowance)for 3 months and circulating inflammatory indicators will be measured. The blood and cellular levels of magnesium will be measured (before and after treatment) to assess which parameter correlates best with efficacy in lowering inflammation indicators.
次要结局
- Magnesium supplementation will lower parameters of inflammation in hypomagnesemic diabetic patients.(One year)
