The Effect of Chrom through the Glucose Tolerance and Serum Lipid Level (Pengaruh Mineral Krom terhadap Toleransi Glukosa dan Kadar Lipid Serum)

---

Chrom is a trace element which was originally found by Schwarz and Mertz in 1959 as an essential mineral to animals. Later, it was also found that the deficiency of this element in human caused a variety of symptoms, especially in persons or patients who had a long term of parenteral diet. Chrom deficiency in human as well as in animal is recognized by patients intolerance to glucose, and the increase of triglyceride and cholesterol in blood. In rats chrom deficiency causes sclerotic plaque. Chrom as biologic-active part of glucose tolerance factor (GTF) has potential for increasing insulin activity and responsible for maintaining insulin normal function. In consequence, the effect of insulin in carbohydrate metabolism, fat and protein depends on the proper supply of chrom in the body.
