| 1 | The association between magnesium intake and fasting insulin concentration in healthy middle-aged women. | Magnesium | insulin | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | OBJECTIVE: We assessed the association between magnesium intake and fasting insulin levels in a large cohort of women. | Magnesium | insulin | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | RESULTS: After adjustment for age, body mass index (BMI), total energy, physical activity, hours per week spent sitting outside work, alcohol intake, smoking, and family history of diabetes, magnesium intake was inversely associated with fasting insulin concentration. | Magnesium | insulin | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | CONCLUSION: Higher magnesium intake is associated with lower fasting insulin concentrations among women without diabetes. | Magnesium | insulin | Homo sapiens |
| 5 | Because lower fasting insulin concentrations generally reflect greater insulin sensitivity, these findings provide a mechanism through which higher dietary magnesium intake may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. | Magnesium | insulin | Homo sapiens |
| 6 | Because lower fasting insulin concentrations generally reflect greater insulin sensitivity, these findings provide a mechanism through which higher dietary magnesium intake may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. | Magnesium | insulin | Homo sapiens |
