ABSTRACT

This study investigated the effects of moderate magnesium (Mg)-restricted diet on bone formation and bone resorption in rats. Weanling Wistar strain rats were randomly divided into three dietary groups of 6 rats each and fed their respective diets; a control diet containing 0.05% Mg (C), a half Mg diet containing 0.025% Mg (1/2Mg), or a one-fifth Mg diet containing 0.01% Mg (1/5Mg), for 21 days. Serum osteocalcin level was significantly reduced with decreasing dietary Mg level. Urinary excretion of C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen was significantly higher in the 1/5Mg group than in the C group. Serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) level was significantly lower in the 1/2Mg and 1/5Mg groups than in the C group. Serum soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (sRANKL) level was significantly higher in the 1/2Mg and 1/5Mg groups than in the C group. These results showed that a moderate Mg-restricted diet induced a decrease in bone formation and an increase in bone resorption. Furthermore, these changes of bone formation and bone resorption might be caused by serum IGF-1 and sRANKL levels, respectively.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary magnesium (Mg) supplementation on bone loss in rats fed a high phosphorus (P) diet. Weanling Wistar strain rats were randomly divided into four dietary groups of 6 rats each and fed their respective diets; a diet containing 0.3% P and 0.05% Mg (C), a diet containing 1.5% P and 0.05% Mg (HP), a diet containing 0.3% P and 0.15% Mg (HMg), or a diet containing 1.5% P and 0.15% Mg (HPMg), for 21 days. Compared to the C and HMg groups, serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration was significantly higher in the HP and HPMg groups. Serum osteocalcin concentration and urinary excretion of C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (CTx), markers of bone turnover, were significantly higher in the HP and HPMg groups than in the C and HMg groups. Dietary Mg supplementation had no significant effects on serum PTH and osteocalcin concentrations, while urinary excretion of CTx was significantly lower in the HPMg group than in the HP group. These results suggested that dietary Mg supplementation suppressed bone resorption due to high P diet.

ABSTRACT

We examined the effects of high calcium (Ca) intake on bone metabolism in magnesium (Mg)-deficient rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into three groups, with each group having a similar mean body weight, and fed a control diet (control group), a Mg-deficient diet (Mg-deficient group) or a Mg-deficient Ca-supplemented diet (Mg-deficient Ca-supplemented group) for 14 d. Femoral Ca content was significantly lower in the Mg-deficient Ca-supplemented group than in the control group and Mg-deficient group. Femoral Mg content was significantly lower in the Mg-deficient group and Mg-deficient Ca-supplemented group than in the control group. Furthermore, femoral Mg content was significantly lower in the Mg-deficient Ca-supplemented group than in the Mg-deficient group. Serum osteocalcin levels (a biochemical marker of bone formation) were significantly lower in the two Mg-deficient groups than in the control group. As a biochemical marker of bone resorption, urinary deoxypyridinoline excretion was significantly higher in the Mg-deficient Ca-supplemented group than in the control group and Mg-deficient group. The results in the present study suggest that high Ca intake had no preventive effect on alteration of bone metabolism in Mg-deficient rats.
