Effect Of Chromium On Glucose And Lipid Profiles In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes; A Meta-analysis Review Of Randomized Trials

この研究の注釈:

A meta-analysis on chromium in type II diabetics where supplementation lasted for over three months noted that, relative to placebo, there was a mild but significant reduction in blood glucose. HbA1c and all biomarkers of lipid metabolism, as well as weight, were all unaffected.

This meta-analysis was restricted to type II diabetics and the duration of at least three months, but at times included studies containing chromium enriched yeast and biotin supplementation alongside the chromium.


Characterization Of The Metabolic And Physiologic Response To Chromium Supplementation In Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
この研究の注釈:

Supplementation of 1mg chromium (in the form of chromium picolinate) in two divided doses daily for 24 weeks in type II diabetics noted that while there was a trend to increase insulin sensitivity, this was not statistically significant and only 46% of persons were considered responders.

No other changes were noted in diet, glucose metabolism, and the response to chromium was more associated with baseline insulin resistance rather than the kinetics of chromium after ingestion.


Antioxidant Effects And Insulin Resistance Improvement Of Chromium Combined With Vitamin C And E Supplementation For Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
この研究の注釈:

In type II diabetics with an HbA1c over 8.5% given 1mg of chromium via yeast, supplementation was associated with a reduction in blood glucose (11%) and HbA1c (0.7%, from 10.2% to 9.5%) alongside an increase in insulin sensitivity.

Lipid peroxidation, as assessed by TBARS, was also reduced with chromium by 18.7%. An increase in glutathoine peroxidase was noted, but catalase and SOD were unaffected.

Insulin sensitivity was improved to a statistically significant degree, but no other health variable was beneficially influenced.

Role Of Chromium Supplementation In Indians With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
この研究の注釈:

Supplementation of chromium to type II diabetics for 28 weeks noted a reduction in blood glucose relative to baseline and placebo, and the minor changes in HbA1c and insulin turned out to be significant due to an increase seen in placebo. Weight and blood pressure were not significantly different, nor were any parameter of lipid metabolism measured.


Chromium Picolinate Supplementation For Overweight Or Obese Adults
この研究の注釈:

A meta-analysis investigating studies on chromium picolinate in the dosage range of 200-1,000µg noted a weight loss effect in with a mean loss of 1.1kg (95% confidence interval between 0.4 and 1.7kg weight loss), although it noted that the evidence that this was drawn from was less than optimal and there was no apparent dose dependence of supplementation.

この研究の注釈:

In obese type II diabetic (on medication) subjects given supplemental chromium via yeast (400 micrograms daily) for 12 weeks was associated with a decrease in blood glucose relative to placebo but all other measured biomarkers were unchanged, although a reduction in insulin and weight in both groups tended to decrease further with chromium.

Lipid peroxidation (MDA) was unaffected and the antioxidant enzymes were mostly unaffected, although a decrease in glutathoine and glutathione peroxidase seen at the end of the trial in placebo was mitigated with chromium.
