摘要: Objective: Intracellular calcium (Ca) is increased in obese humans, and magnesium (Mg)-ATPase activity monosodium glutamate-induced rats. The aims of this study were to test the hypotheses that Ca-ATPase negatively correlated with BMI, Mg-ATPase positively BMI women. Research Methods Procedures: Thirty healthy adult women, BMIs 20 40, donated a single sample whole blood interviewed as medical history family obesity. Erythrocyte membranes isolated assayed for Mg-ATPase. Weight height self-reported. Regression analysis was used determine relationship between enzyme activity. Family obesity served covariant. Results: increasing (r = − 0.38, p 0.02). remained valid after controlling −0.36, 0.03). There positive correlation 0.42, 0.024), 0.41, 0.03). Discussion: decreases increases. Decreased ATPase may contribute intracellular calcium, previously reported persons. Further studies are needed whether drop can serve marker development
