    Abstract Purpose of review: Recent identification and characterization of novel Mg transporters have clarified our understanding of intestinal magnesium absorption. The predominant Mg transporters include TRPM6 and TRPM7, members of the transient receptor potential melastatin family of cation channels. Mutations of TRPM6 result in a primary disorder termed hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia.
    Recent findings: Both TRPM6 and TRPM7 channels possess an atypical alpha-kinase domain. Recent studies have shown that TRPM7 channel activity is regulated by intracellular Mg and magnesium-nucleotides and modulated via this phosphotransferase kinase. TRPM6 channel function and intestinal magnesium absorption is altered by a variety of hormones and factors. Although it is apparent that TRPM6 and TRPM7 form heteromeric ion channels, controversy surrounds the nature of this interaction. Some studies show that TRPM6 may function on its own whereas other research concludes that TRPM7 is required for effective trafficking of TRPM6 to the plasma membrane. Finally, a number of other Mg transporters have been identified in intestinal epithelial cells but the role of these proteins is unclear.
    Summary: The recent developments in intestinal magnesium absorption and cellular magnesium homeostasis provide a basis for understanding magnesium deficiency disorders and provide a platform for future investigations.

    Abstract Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body, which facilitates more than 300 enzymatic reactions. Magnesium is essential for nucleic material and protein synthesis, neuromuscular conduction, cardiac contractility, energy metabolism, and immune system function. Gastrointestinal system and kidneys closely regulate magnesium absorption and elimination to maintain adequate storage of magnesium. Magnesium deficiency has been linked to many diseases and poor health outcomes. Magnesium has also been proven to be an effective therapeutic agent in many diseases, such as bronchial asthma, cardiac arrhythmia, and pre-eclampsia.

    Abstract Assessment of the bioavailability of exogenous ions present in a large amounts in the body, such as magnesium, cannot be performed by the conventional measurement of plasma levels after intravenous and/or oral administration. In the case of magnesium, this is emphasized by the fact that plasma levels are quickly regulated, mainly by the kidney and in storage compartments such as bone, after exogenous administration. Magnesium bioavailability and absorption are studied by indirect methods or by using radioactive or stable isotopes as tracers. Indirect methods are the metabolic balance method and comparison of urinary excretion between a treatment and a placebo period, often after magnesium load. However, the former only measures magnesium absorption and the latter is subject to the fragile balance of magnesium urinary excretion. Isotope studies, in particular with stable isotope probes, have benefited from the developments in mass spectrometry, such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). It is possible to follow exogenous magnesium in plasma after oral and intravenous administrations using 25Mg and 26Mg as tracers, and to calculate the absolute bioavailability of magnesium.

    Abstract Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are non-digestible carbohydrates, which are resistant to gastrointestinal digestive enzymes, but are fermented by specific colonic bacteria. After the discovery of bifidogenic activity of GOS and the development of an industrial production process by transgalactosidase activity of beta-galactosidases. GOS have been extensively studied for their physiological roles on the intestinal flora and functions. GOS are selectively utilized by bifidobacteria in vitro, and show a bifidogenic effect at a daily intake of more than 2.5 g in human studies, whereas at least 5 g are needed to have effects on stool frequency. It is suggested that the products of fermentation of GOS in the colon, mainly short chain fatty acids, have a role in the improvement of the colonic environment, energy supply to the colonic epithelium, and calcium and magnesium absorption. These physiological effects in conjunction with the physicochemical characteristics of GOS enable GOS to be promising prebiotic food ingredients applicable to a variety of designed foods.
