Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnesium is an essential nutrient for human health. As the fourth most abundant cation in the human body and second most abundant intracellular cation, magnesium is involved in many essential physiological, biochemical, and cellular process. Magnesium has a major influence on the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases. Current evidence shows that a significant portion of the population do not meet the recommended magnesium intake levels. There is strong evidence linking chronic low magnesium state with a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes and obesity.
The aim of this Special Issue, “The Role of Magnesium in Metabolic Diseases”, is to provide cutting-edge research encompassing various aspects, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Original epidemiological, clinical, and experimental studies examining the impacts of magnesium status on metabolic diseases;
- Methodological papers focusing on the substantial obstacles faced when conducting thorough research where magnesium and metabolic diseases intersect;
- Review articles (including systematic reviews and meta-analyses) on the relationship between magnesium intake and metabolic diseases in different populations.
