Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Cellular Biology
  • Physiology

Context:

  • Metabolism generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals.
  • An imbalance between ROS production and antioxidant defenses leads to oxidative stress.
  • Oxidative stress is implicated in major chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Purpose:

  • To summarize the mechanisms of oxidative stress.
  • To elucidate the role of magnesium as an endogenous antioxidant.
  • To explore the pathways linking magnesium to oxidative stress.

Summary:

  • Magnesium is a crucial physiological antioxidant.
  • It participates in over 300 enzymatic reactions, including energy metabolism and protein synthesis.
  • Magnesium's antioxidant properties help counteract the damaging effects of free radicals.
