Abstract
Summary
In a test group of 8 rabbits, administration of digitoxin by intravenous injections of 0.1 mg/kg, given daily for 8 days, produced no significant changes in the external balance of magnesium. On the day following the last injection the exchangeable body content of magnesium, measured with Mg28, was significantly increased. The results suggest that digitoxin produces subtle changes in the dynamics of magnesium metabolism which are not reflected in the external balance data.
