Thanks Linkadge - just looked up some abstracts and found one that said that low magnesium results in an inflammatory response that triggers the release of interleukin 6 - amongst others.

So interleukin 6 and magnesium both have effects on the NMDA receptor directly, and low magnesium can, along with several other factors (inflammation, infection etc..) raise interleukin 6.

Thanks, sorry to go on about interleukin 6, but it does seem fascinating!
