The General Adaptation Syndrome is characterized by three stages: Alarm Reaction - Adaptation - Exhaustion. Results of animal experiments and clinical observations indicate that both central nervous and peripheral systemic reactions to acute stress - e.g. noise - can be accentuated by magnesium deficiency and reduced by mild hypermagnesemia, respectively. Concerning long term suboptimal magnesium supply, experimental data indicate that a stage of adaptation might be achieved during a certain period of time, preceded and followed by stages of markedly decreased resistance.U
警戒反应——适应——衰竭。动物实验和临床观察结果表明，中枢神经系统和外周系统对急性应激（如噪音）的反应，分别会因镁缺乏而增强，因轻度高镁血症而减弱。关于长期镁供应不足的情况，实验数据表明，在一段时间内可能会达到一个适应阶段，在此之前和之后是抵抗力明显下降的阶段。
