Background: Sleep deprivation, malnutrition and lack of physical activity are contemporary stress-related factors present in the student population. Stress activates the HPA and often suppresses the HPG axis, but also influences cytokine synthesis and consequently regulates immune response. Since magnesium deficiency facilitates negative pathophysiological consequences, a reasonable question imposes, wheth er Mg supplementation might correct the adrenal/go nadal hormone balance and immuno-endocrine function. Methods: Fifteen male students were given 2 x 250 mg Mg for four weeks. Serum levels of FSH, LH, testosterone (T), ACTH and cortisol
