Magnesium (Mg) is an essential macroelement that is required for cellular energy-dependent reactions involving adenosine triphosphate and for the regulation of calcium channel function. Subclinical hypomagnesemia is common in critically ill humans and animals and increases the severity of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome; worsens the systemic response to endotoxins; and can lead to ileus, cardiac arrhythmias, refractory hypokalemia, and hypocalcemia. This article discusses the clinical signs, consequences, and treatment of hypomagnesemia in horses and describes the association of Mg and endotoxemia, insulin resistance, and brain injury.
镁（Mg）是一种必需的宏量元素，参与涉及三磷酸腺苷的细胞能量依赖性反应以及钙通道功能的调节。亚临床低镁血症在重症人类和动物中很常见，会增加全身炎症反应综合征的严重程度；加重对内毒素的全身反应；并可导致肠梗阻、心律失常、难治性低钾血症和低钙血症。本文讨论了马低镁血症的临床症状、后果和治疗方法，并描述了镁与内毒素血症、胰岛素抵抗和脑损伤之间的关联。
