Abstract EN
Magnesium deficiency in pregnancy frequently occurs because of inadequate or low intake of magnesium.
Magnesium deficiency during pregnancy can induce not only maternal and fetal nutritional problems, but also consequences that might last in offspring throughout life.
Many epidemiological studies have disclosed that small for gestational age (SGA) is associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance in adult life.
We reported that intracellular magnesium of cord blood platelets is lower in SGA groups than that in appropriate for gestational age groups, suggesting that intrauterine magnesium deficiency may result in SGA.
Taken together, intrauterine magnesium deficiency in the fetus may lead to or at least program insulin resistance after birth.
In this review, we propose that intrauterine magnesium deficiency may induce metabolic syndrome in later life.
We discuss the potential contribution of aberrant magnesium regulation to SGA and to the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome.
