1. Weanling Wistar rats were pair fed for 10 weeks on a purified diet containing either normal or suboptimal quantities of magnesium (960 or 80 mg/kg respectively).

2. At week 2, hypomagnesaemia was accompanied by hypertriglyceridaemia, an increase in plasma cholesterol and a decrease in high-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol in animals fed on the Mg-deficient diet. At week 10, the increase in triglycerides observed in Mg-deficient animals was less marked while the increase in total cholesterol was more important.

3. During the whole experimental period, Mg-deficient animals never showed hypertension. At week 2, mean arterial blood pressure was significantly lower in Mg-deficient rats than in their respective controls, while heart rate was significantly increased. However, hypotension accompanied by tachycardia was a transitory phenomenon which appeared only in the early phase of deficiency.

4. Vascular reactivity was studied in vagotomized anaesthetized rats after ganglionic blockade with pentolinium and atropine sulphate. The reactivity to noradrenaline was significantly higher in Mg-deficient rats compared with pair-fed controls after 2 weeks on the experimental diet.
