ABSTRACT: In the current global epidemic for Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), diabetes and neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease there has been a major interest in magnesium therapy to delay the severity of NAFLD, Type 3 diabetes and neurodegeneration in the developing and developed world. The objective of magnesium therapy is to activate the anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) to prevent cardiovascular disease, NAFLD and diabetes. Reduced consumption of nutrients such as fatty acids, glucose, cholesterol and increased magnesium consumption is closely linked to reduced bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and activation of Sirt1 relevant to active nuclear and mitochondria interactions with the prevention of myocardial infarction and Type 3 diabetes. Magnesium deficiency and its effects on Sirt1 regulation have become important with magnesium deficiency associated with appetite dysregulation, senescence, glucose/nitric oxide dyshomeostasis, increased ceramide and toxic amyloid beta formation. Magnesium therapy activates the peripheral sink amyloid beta clearance pathway with the reversal of cell senescence associated with various chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, Type 3 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.
