Abstract
Hypocalcemia and resistance to exogenous parathyroid hormone have been reported in several clinical states associated with magnesium deficiency. On the basis of such observations, it has been suggested that magnesium depletion per se may result in impaired responsiveness of the adenyl cyclase-adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (3′,5′-AMP) system. To test this hypothesis, 4 wk old male parathyroidectomized rats were maintained on normal or magnesium-deficient diets for 4 wk and their responses to parathyroid hormone compared.
