Chromium chloride

Overview

Chromium chloride is a trivalent chromium compound and an essential trace mineral. Chromium chloride enhances insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation and glucose uptake in skeletal muscle. Chromium chloride regulates glucose and lipid metabolism, inhibits TNF-α secretion and oxidative stress in monocytes treated with high glucose or H 2 O 2 , and reverses hydrogen peroxide-induced cell growth inhibition. Chromium chloride reduces coronary and aortic lipid deposition and serum cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. Chromium chloride can be used in research related to diabetes and cardiac atherosclerosis.
