Abstract

Morphological changes in the immune organs of rats in a model of magnesium deficiency indicate a decrease in the lymphocyte population. Reduction or complete disappearance of germinal centers in lymphoid follicles of the spleen and a decrease in the number of lymphocytes in the medulla of lymph nodes may be indirect evidence of reduction in the number of plasma cells producing immunoglobulins.
