Dietary Mg supplementation reduced plasmatic oxidative stress markers in rats with metabolic syndrome and 5/6 nephrectomy. Nx rats were fed a normal (0.1%) Mg diet or received a dietary Mg supplementation (0.6%). Sham-operated rats fed a normal P and Mg diet served as controls. (A) Plasma GPx activity was spectrophotometrically evaluated. (B) Lipid peroxidation (MDA) was measured in plasma from the different experimental groups. (C) A negative correlation between GPx activity and MDA levels was observed. *** p < 0.001 and ** p < 0.01 vs. MetS; # p < 0.05 vs. MetS+Nx+Mg0.1%.
