The Bioinorganic Chemistry of Chromium
Chromium exists in nature as complexes of two stable oxidation states - trivalent chromium(III) and hexavalent chromium(VI). Although chromium(VI) is a well known human toxin and potential carcinogen, the effects of chromium(III) on the body are less well known. Chromium(III) has been proposed to be required in trace amounts for proper sugar and lipid metabolism in humans, and its deficiency has been proposed to result in symptoms similar to diabetes. Chromium(III) compounds have been popular nutraceuticals, claimed to aid weight loss and muscle mass enhancement. However, the nutritional essentialness of chromium(III) has been questio…
