Title Of Article :
Effects of Dietary Chromium on Immune System
Abstract :
Many studies were conducted on chromium (Cr) nutrition. Since earlier, Cr was accepted as an essential nutrient/mineral. Also, close relationship between dietary Cr and carbohydrate metabolism was revealed in detail. Although some effects of dietary Cr on immune response were revealed by earlier in vitro studies, interests on farm-based effects have been recently focused. In this review, the effects of dietary Cr on immune system have been emphasized.
