A similar and biologically active chromium-containing substance has been found in rabbit liver (Yamamoto et al., 1989~. Although relatively rare, signs of chromium deficiency are likely related to its interactions with insulin, and they include impaired glucose tolerance, elevated concentrations of insulin, glycosuria, impaired growth, decreased longevity, elevated concentrations of cholesterol and triacylglycerols, 6

The content of total chromium in the diet, therefore, probably bears little relationship to its effectiveness as biologically active chromium. Complexing chromium to organic molecules also can influence availability.

, detection of such low serum concentrations requires strict control of contamination by performing sample preparation and analysis in ultraclean experimental rooms and by constant quality control with the use of standard reference materials. Plasma concentrations of chromium can be lower during infection and glucose loading (Borer and Anderson, 1984~.

reported that, in adult males, a six-mile run resulted in a fivefold increase in urinary chromium excretion within two hours after running, and the total urinary chromium excreted during the day of the run was more than twice that on the next day. Severely traumatized patients also excrete several times more chromium than do normal subjects.
