We derive the relativistic factor for splitting of the g-factors of a fermion and its anti-fermion partner, which is important for placing constraints on dimension-5, CPT-odd and Lorentz invariance-violating interactions from experiments performed in a cyclotron. From existing data, we extract limits (1$\sigma$) on the coupling strengths of a background field (including the field amplitude), which is responsible for such g-factor splitting, with an electron, proton and muon to be: $| f^0_e | < 1.4 \times 10^{-25} \textrm{ GeV T}^{-1}$, $| f^0_p | < 2 \times 10^{-22} \textrm{ GeV T}^{-1}$ and $| f^0_u | < 5 \times 10^{-24} \textrm{ GeV T}^{-1}$, respectively, in the laboratory frame. From existing data, we also extract limits (1$\sigma$) on the coupling strengths of related dimension-5 interactions of a background field with an electron, proton, neutron and muon: $| \mathbf{d}_e^{(\perp)} | < 10^{-22} \textrm{ GeV T}^{-1}$, $| \mathbf{d}_p^{(\perp)} | < 10^{-23} \textrm{ GeV T}^{-1}$, $| \mathbf{d}_n^{(\perp)} | < 10^{-22} \textrm{ GeV T}^{-1}$ and $| \mathbf{d}_u^{(\perp)} | < 10^{-22} \textrm{ GeV T}^{-1}$, respectively, in the laboratory frame.
