Effect of Y on the bio-corrosion behavior of extruded Mg–Zn–Mn alloy in Hank's solution (2010, background): “Thedaily intake ofMg for a normal adult is about 300–400 mg and redundant magnesium cations can be harmlessly and efficiently excreted in the urine [2].”
In vitro studies of biomedical magnesium alloys in a simulated physiological environment: a review. (2011, background): “It is vital to metabolism processes, a co-factor in many enzymes, and a key component of the ribosomal machinery that translates the genetic information encoded by mRNA into polypeptide structures [1,3–5].”
Bone grafts and biomaterials substitutes for bone defect repair: A review (2017, background): “Magnesium is the fourth most abundant cations in the body [293], equal to about 1mol (24 g) in an adult human body [294] and over 60% is accumulated in bone and teeth [295].”
The development of binary Mg-Ca alloys for use as biodegradable materials within bone. (2008, background): “This might be controlled by the self-regulation mechanism of organism and the surplus magnesium would be excreted from urine [33].”
