Changes of Blood Pressure and Hemodynamic Parameters after Oral Magnesium Supplementation in Patients with Essential Hypertension—An Intervention Study

This 2018 single-arm, non-blinded intervention study evaluated the effects of daily 300 mg oral magnesium oxide supplementation over one month in 48 patients with essential hypertension whose antihypertensive therapy remained unchanged. Post-intervention, significant reductions in systolic (from 139.7 ± 15.0 to 130.8 ± 13.4 mmHg) and diastolic (from 88.0 ±

Is Lead Exposure the Principal Cause of Essential Hypertension?

This review investigates the role of lead exposure in the development of essential hypertension. Epidemiological studies have identified a positive association between lead exposure and increased blood pressure, with some studies suggesting a dose-response relationship. Mechanistic studies indicate that lead may contribute to hypertension through pathways involving oxidative stress, endothelial
