Individuals with low levels of magnesium are at risk of developing conditions such as diabetes and obesity because the heart contains transporters and regulator channels that control magnesium movement, including TRPM7, TRPM7, MagT1, and CNNM2 for magnesium influx and SLC41A1 and SLC41A3 for magnesium efflux. This evidence concerns the gene SLC41A3 and obesity disorder.
