| Popis: | Chromium (III) is relatively nontoxic and identified as a novel micronutrient for its beneficial role in human nutrition by serving as a critical cofactor in the action of insulin as well as nutritional enhancement to energy, glucose, and lipid metabolism. Significant dietary sources of trivalent chromium are available in various food sources such as whole-grain products, high-bran breakfast cereals, egg yolks, coffee, nuts, green beans, broccoli, meat, Brewers' yeast, and selected brands of beer and wine. Chromium is also found in many mineral or multivitamin supplements. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has selected a Reference Daily Intake (RDI) of 120 μg/day for chromium. However, normal dietary intake of chromium for adults may be less than optimal. The effects of type 1 and type 2 diabetes on the transport of chromium included greater urinary chromium loss, and greater movement of chromium from the blood to the tissues, most notably to the skeletal muscle; and an alteration of the distribution of chromium in the blood plasma was found in diabetic rat models compared to healthy rat. |
