Abstract
Summary The content of magnesium in 73 different tissues and body fluids of the dog was determined by flame photometry. The heart, skeletal muscle, glands, veins, epididymis, and cornea had the highest concentrations of magnesium among the soft tissue. Bone had the highest concentration of magnesium among all tissues examined. Collagenous tissue manifested the greatest variations among the dogs. The values obtained by this method were higher than those previously reported for chemical methods. The procedure of acid digestion is satisfactory for flame-photometric determination of magnesium in tissue and the flame-photometric method is sufficiently simple and accurate for general application.
