Fig. 1. Production of TBARS in non-HDL lipoproteins incubated with copper before (closed circles, interrupted line) and after (closed triangles, closed line) intravenous Mg given during the retention test. Values shown are mean±SEM, n=22; *p=0.01, **p=0.008 in the paired comparison before versus after the Mg infusion. Note the lack of effect of Mg on the lagphase and the significant increase of lipid peroxidation in the saturation phase.
