Abstract
^31^P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to study the skeletal muscle of 33 normal males and 32 females. Free intracellular magnesium levels and the ratios of the phosphorus metabolites were determined. Males had significantly lower free magnesium levels (499.8 ΞΌM Β± 26.3 ΞΌM vs. 530.7 ΞΌM Β± 36.0 ΞΌM, P = 0.001, d.f. = 63, analysis of variance). The free magnesium level (r~s~ = β0.5431, P = 0.001) and the phosphocreatine/inorganic phosphate ratio in males (r~s~ = β0.4102, P = 0.018), and the phosphocreatine/inorganic phosphate ratio in females (r~s~ = β0.4759, P = 0.009) fell with the increasing Minnesota Heart Health Program Questionnaire score.
