Magnesium Deficiency In The Human Body And Its Impact On Human Health
Keywords:
magnesium homeostasis, hypomagnesemia, enzymatic activityAbstract
This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the physiological role of magnesium as a vital macroelement in the human body and examines the pathological consequences associated with its deficiency. Magnesium is involved in numerous enzymatic processes, including ATP-dependent reactions, protein synthesis, and nucleic acid metabolism. It plays a fundamental role in maintaining neuromuscular excitability, cardiovascular stability, and metabolic homeostasis. Recent epidemiological data indicate an increasing prevalence of magnesium deficiency due to inadequate dietary intake, chronic stress exposure, environmental influences, and various systemic disorders. The article evaluates the principal etiological factors, underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and preventive approaches related to hypomagnesemia. Emphasis is placed on the importance of nutritional balance and lifestyle modification in sustaining optimal magnesium status and preventing long-term health complications
