Effects of the supplementation of chromium picolinate about the concentration of plasma glycemia during physical and rest exercise
Abstract
Chromium is an essential trace mineral absorbed from food, especially some foods such as meat and oil, and is mainly stored in the liver as the primary function having an increase in glucose tolerance associated with insulin in cell metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chromium picolinate in its version on blood glucose and how he handles the plasma glucose concentration in the body during exercise. Therefore, we used 17 healthy physically active individuals who participated in all phases of the experiment which was divided into four distinct phases, group supplemented with 50g of maltodextrin at rest (Malt), supplemented group with maltodextrin 50g in aerobic exercise (MEx), group supplemented with 50g of maltodextrin and 70 mcg of Chromium Picolinate at rest (MCro) and group supplemented with 50g of maltodextrin and 70 mcg of Chromium Picolinate in aerobic exercise (MCroEx). The plasma glucose was monitored every 15 minutes for 75 minutes using a glucometer. Chromium had a positive effect on glucose uptake, significantly lowering plasma levels, which corroborates some studies, though conducted on animals.
