Magnesium Deficiency Induces Lipid Accumulation in Vascular Endothelial Cells via Oxidative Stress-The Potential Contribution of EDF-1 and PPARγ.

Our results suggest that magnesium deficiency leads to the deposition of lipids by inducing EDF-1 and PPARγ. The increase in intracellular lipids might be interpreted as an adaptive response of endothelial cells to magnesium deficiency.
