Abstract
Whereas 69.3% of magnesium (Mg) exists in bone tissues and is incorporated in bone crystal as a constituent, Mg also regulates functions of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, as well as osteocytes. Calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is a key regulator of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion and CaR requires magnesium for the action. Another important aspect of Mg is the role of this element as a nutrient. Mg is supplied as a nutrient from food.
