Core Tip

Core tip: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) induced hypomagnesemia (PPIH) has attracted attention in the past decade. Previous studies proposed that PPIH is a consequence of intestinal Mg2+ malabsorption. However, the effect of prolonged PPI administration on duodenal, jejunal, ileal, and colonic Mg2+ absorption is largely unknown. In this study, the rats received 20 mg/ kg∙d subcutaneous omeprazole injection for 12 and 24 wk, which is comparable to 5 and 10 human years, respectively. Omeprazole injection induced hypomagnesemia with reduced urinary Mg2+ excretion. The rates of total, paracellular, and transcellular Mg2+ absorption reduced in the duodenum, jejunum, ilium, and colon were discovered in PPIH rats.
