Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is known that magnesium is essential for human health. Magnesium is essential for all cells, having a pivotal role in energy production and being a cofactor of over 600 enzymes involved in cell metabolism. Magnesium is naturally present in many foods, such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, and legumes; however, a consistent part of the worldwide population, including industrialized countries, cannot reach an appropriate intake of magnesium, often needing oral supplementations. Increasing novel literature on clinical and preclinical studies indicates that magnesium deficiency may impact several organs and systems, leading to various metabolic, cardiovascular, and neuronal diseases. Finally, new research indicates a potential role of magnesium in infectious diseases, including COVID-19.
With this Special Issue entitled “Magnesium: from in vitro to clinical research”, we aim to collect original and reviews to cover the updated importance of magnesium from a pathophysiological and clinical point of view.
