Abstract

To evaluate the effect of magnesium supplementation on insulin resistance and cardiovascular markers in people with prediabetes. A 12 week double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial was conducted at Isfahan Endocrine and Metabolism Research Center, Iran, on people with prediabetes (n = 86) to compare the effects of magnesium oxide 250 mg/day versus a placebo on anthropometric indices, blood pressure, fasting glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR index, C-reactive protein, uric acid and lipid profile. Both groups had similar distributions of anthropometric and biochemical variables at baseline. Those who received magnesium supplementation had significantly higher levels of HDL-cholesterol compared to the placebo group at the end of the study (49.7 ± 10.9 vs 43.6 ± 7.2 mg/dL, P = 0.003). The mean changes of HOMA-IR index, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, uric acid and C-reactive protein levels as well as anthropometric indices and blood pressure in supplemented and placebo groups did not differ significantly. Magnesium supplementation increased HDL-cholesterol levels in people with prediabetes. However, other cardiometabolic markers were not improved by magnesium supplementation at the above dosage and duration.
