自首次发现二价铬Cr3+是葡萄糖耐量因子CTF的重要组成成分以来,人们对三价铬在糖、脂代谢等方面的作用进行了研究,发现铬与糖尿病和动脉粥样硬化密切相关。缺铬现象严重的地区,糖尿病的发病率高,糖尿病患者容易罹患其他致死的疾病。据估计,有一半的冠心病死者和3/4的猝死者是由于糖尿病长期未很好得到控制的条件下而死的。动脉粥样硬化和糖尿病之间的共同环节是缺铬。 Since it was first discovered that chromium (Cr) + is an important component of glucose tolerance factor (CTF), the role of trivalent chromium in glucose and lipid metabolism has been studied and found that chromium is closely related to diabetes and atherosclerosis. In areas where chrome deficiency is a serious problem, the incidence of diabetes is high and people with diabetes are at risk of other lethal diseases. It is estimated that about half of those with CHD and 3 of 4 sudden death die from the condition that diabetes has not been well controlled for a long time. The common link between atherosclerosis and diabetes is chromium deficiency.
