Abstract

Introduction: Magnesium is the second intracellular and fourth common action in the
body. Magnesium deficit has been described in patients with type I diabetes.
Hypomagnesemia can also be the cause for some clinical diseases such as diabetes. Some
researches showed that plasma magnesium level decreases after diabetes induction. Some
research believed that magnesium deficiency is a risk factor for diabetes. In the other hand,
magnesium deficiency changes vessel morphology and increase vessel myogenic tone. It
plays an important role in regulation of cerebral blood flow. Magnesium also plays a crucial
role in diabetic vessel complications. This review article tries to investigate the role and
mechanism of magnesium on prevention of diabetic vessel complication.
