Until recently, practical diets fed to cattle were assumed to provide sufficient chromium to meet requirements. Recent research now suggests that in some situations practical diets may not contain adequate chromium to maximize certain biological processes in ruminants. Supplementation of chromium ha
Swine are used as a model for humans in many biomedical research projects. Interest in the use of chromium as chromium picolinate (CrPic) for swine increased once it was shown that the dietary supplementation of this biologically available form of Cr in humans resulted in the deposition of more musc
In the 1950s, Mertz and Schwarz published a series of experiments providing evidence that chromium (Cr) is an essential nutrient forming the active component of the "glucose tolerance factor." This factor enhances the binding of insulin to its receptors, potentiating the action of insulin on carbohy
In most readily accessible biological samples from humans, like blood, serum/plasma, urine, etc, the levels of chromium (Cr) are less than 1 ng/g, and in many cases closer to 0.1 ng/g. Only 3 analytical techniques have the required sensitivity to make measurements at these levels, namely, neutron ac
