Introduction: The exact mechanisms lor the homeostatic control of Intracellular magnesium [Mg^sup 2+^]^sub i^ relative to extracellular ionized magnesium [Mg^sup 2+^]^sub 0^ remain unclear. For a through understanding of the diverse biological functions of intracellular Mg^sup 2+^, it is crucial that its membrane transport process and relationship with [Mg^sup 2+^]^sub 0^ be delineated. Objectives: The transmembrane fluxes of [Mg^sup 2+^]^sub 0^ in the homeostasis of [Mg^sup 2+^]^sub i^, in rat platelets was ...
