The influence of various metals on magnesium concentration in cellular subfractions of certain rat tissues.

There are interactions between magnesium and other elements in human and animal organisms. Changes in homeostasis of this macro-element may be induced by intoxication of lead, chromium and the other metals. The purpose of our work was to analyze the influence of various metals (lithium, aluminium, lead and chromium) on magnesium concentrations of certain rat tissues. It was shown that the changes in magnesium concentration were dependent on the kind of metal, tissue and cellular subfraction.
