Magnesium is the fourth most abundant metal found in the body. It plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes. It is a natural calcium antagonist. New experimental data suggest that Mg+2 influences a variety of lung structures. Intracellular Mg+2 is thought to modulate smooth muscle contractions and it is known to have a direct effect on calcium uptake, resulting in smooth muscle relaxation. Magnesium has been forgotten cation from the therapeutical point of view, but now several clinical reports point to the salutary actions of Mg+2 in various lung diseases. Many reports suggests that magnesium sulfate and aspartate has certainly a role as an adjunct to traditional therapy in asthma and asthma-like conditions and have been helpful in the treatment of acute exacerbations of asthma.
镁是人体中含量第四丰富的金属。它在众多生物过程中发挥着关键作用。它是一种天然的钙拮抗剂。新的实验数据表明镁离子会影响多种肺部结构。细胞内的镁离子被认为可调节平滑肌收缩，并且已知其对钙摄取有直接影响，从而导致平滑肌松弛。从治疗角度来看，镁一直是被遗忘的阳离子，但现在有几份临床报告指出镁离子在各种肺部疾病中具有有益作用。许多报告表明硫酸镁和天冬氨酸在哮喘及类似哮喘病症中肯定可作为传统疗法的辅助手段，并且对哮喘急性加重的治疗有帮助。
