MgSO4 decreases cytokine production induced by other TLR ligands. CBMCs in the presence (Mg Sup) or absence (CTRL) of MgSO4 supplementation were stimulated with (A) 1 ng/ml MALP-2 or (B) 1 μg/ml poly(I:C) and cytokine production was assessed via ICS. Magnesium decreased TNF-α and IL-6 production following either MALP-2 (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, n = 7) or poly(I:C) (Student t test, n = 3) stimulation; symbols identify paired samples from the same individual.
