TL;DR: Experimental findings showing that magnesium modulates cellular events involved in inflammation suggest that inflammation is the missing link to explain the role of magnesium in many pathological conditions.

TL;DR: The in vitro antioxidant capacity of cereals is only an approximate reflection of their in vivo antioxidant effect due to differences in antioxidant solubility/bioavailability within the digestive tract and the metabolism/conjugation of compounds such as polyphenols as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: It is shown that induced liver thiobarbituric acid reactive substances increased after 4 weeks of diabetes, in spite of increased liver vitamin E content, and plasma antioxidant capacity tended to increase after 4 Weeks of diabetes and was correlated with plasma vitamin E levels.

TL;DR: The fact that the inflammatory response was an early consequence of Mg deficiency suggests that reduced extracellular Mg might be responsible for the activated state of immune cells.

TL;DR: Lettuce consumption increases the total cholesterol end-products excretion and improves antioxidant status due to the richness in antioxidants (vitamins C, E and carotenoids).
