Abstract
Magnesium28 was administered to young male albino rats to determine the location of the major
gastrointestinal sites of magnesium absorption and excretion. The results indicate
that magnesium is absorbed throughout the intestinal tract, that in all probability
more is absorbed in the ileum than in the jejunum, and that over 70 per cent of the
total absorption of magnesium occurs in the colon. The pattern of the intestinal excretion
of endogenous magnesium appears to be the reverse of absorption, with most of the
loss occurring in the proximal gut.
