Abstract
The Magneson and Titan yellow tests were used to detect Mg in amyloid deposits in primary and secondary amyloidosis, in a pituitary tumour and in a case of equine cutaneous amyloidosis. Especially vascular amyloid deposits turned out to contain high levels of Mg. The significance of these findings remains unclear at present. Competition between Mg and Ca, the relationship between Mg in elastic fibres and amyloid P-component, and the high water content of amyloid along with the interaction of Mg with water are discussed.
