Background  The increase in cytosolic free Mg 2+  occurring during exercise and initial recovery in human skeletal muscle is matched by a decrease in cytosolic pH as shown by  in vivo  phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 31 P MRS). To investigate  in vivo  to what extent the homeostasis of intracellular free Mg 2+  is linked to pH in human skeletal muscle, we studied patients with metabolic myopathies due to different disorders of glycogen metabolism that share a lack of intracellular acidification during muscle exercise.    Methods  We assessed by  31 P MRS the cytosolic pH and free magnesium concentration ([Mg 2+ ]) in calf muscle during exercise and post-exercise recovery in two patients with McArdle's disease with muscle glycogen phosphorylase deficiency (McArdle), and two brothers both affected by Tarui's disease with muscle phosphofructokinase deficiency (PFK).    Results  All patients displayed a lack of intracellular acidosis during muscle exercise. At rest only one PFK patient showed a [Mg 2+ ] higher than the value found in control subjects. During exercise and recovery the McArdle patients did not show any significant change in free [Mg 2+ ], while both PFK patients showed decreased free [Mg 2+ ] and a remarkable accumulation of phosphomonoesters (PME). During initial recovery both McArdle patients showed a small increase in free [Mg 2+ ] while in PFK patients the pattern of free [Mg 2+ ] was related to the rate of PME recovery.    Conclusion  i) homeostasis of free [Mg 2+ ] in human skeletal muscle is strongly linked to pH as shown by patients' [Mg 2+ ] pattern during exercise;  ii) the pattern of [Mg 2+ ] during exercise and post-exercise recovery in both PFK patients suggests that [Mg 2+ ] is influenced by the accumulation of the phosphorylated monosaccharide intermediates of glycogenolysis, as shown by the increased PME peak signal.  iii)  31 P MRS is a suitable tool for the  in vivo  assessment of free cytosolic [Mg 2+ ] in human skeletal muscle in different metabolic conditions;
