Abstract
Trabecular bone samples, obtained in vivo from the iliac crest, were examined for their magnesium content by atomic absorption spectrophotometry after ashing. A significant decrease was found in jevunile-type diabetics and in maturity-type patients treated with insuline as compared to non-diabetic controls. The possibility of a long-term effect of daily insulin injections is discussed.Keywords
