Magnesium deficiency has been implicated as a possible causative factor in premenstrual tension (PMT). We have assessed serum and red cell magnesium concentration in nine normal premenopausal women and 26 PMT patients, using atomic absorption spectrometry. The following means +/- SEM were obtained from serum and red cell magnesium, respectively, in mg/100 ml: normal subjects: 1.7 +/- 0.04 and 4.5 +/- 0.25 PMT patients: 1.8 +/- 0.05 and 3.1 +/- 0.24. Mean red cell magnesium level was significantly (p less than 0.01) lower in PMT patients. Red cell magnesium determinations should be included in the evaluation of PMT.
镁缺乏被认为可能是经前紧张症（PMT）的一个致病因素。我们使用原子吸收光谱法评估了9名正常绝经前女性和26名PMT患者的血清和红细胞镁浓度。血清和红细胞镁的以下均值±标准误分别以mg/100 ml为单位：正常受试者：1.7±0.04和4.5±0.25；PMT患者：1.8±0.05和3.1±0.24。PMT患者的平均红细胞镁水平显著更低（p<0.01）。红细胞镁测定应纳入PMT的评估中。
