Abstract
Sharp increases in the concentration of chromium in plasma were found in five subjects with normal glucose utilization after administration of glucose by mouth. This rise was not observed in two diabetics when glucose tolerance was impaired; however, it appeared when glucose tolerance was improved and when trace amounts of trivalent chromium were given as a dietary supplement. The source of chromium which became elevated was most likely an internal pool. Possibly there is a relation between chromium and insulin function.
