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.

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.

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.

この研究の注釈：

Supplementation of 400mcg chromium (as picolinate) twice daily in obese participants with impaired glucose tolerance failed to exert any appreciable benefit relative to placebo over the course of three months.

この研究の注釈：

In five women with PCOS, supplementation of 470mcg chromium (as picolinate) twice daily for two months appeared to improve insulin sensitivity as assessed by glucose disposal rates, but no other parameter was significantly improved; insulin was nonsignificantly reduced.

この研究の注釈：

Fourteen weeks supplementation of chromium at 200mcg daily for the preseason in elite wrestlers failed to influence any parameter of body composition measured.

The control group appeared to increase upper body muscular strength, although the placebo and chromium groups did not; practical significance of these results uncertain.

この研究の注釈：

400mcg chromium given to overweight children who were also given exercise and diet plans (relative to diet and exercise paired with placebo) over the course of six weeks failed to reduce bodyweight relative to placebo (at the P level of 0.05) but the reduction in fat mass and increase in lean mass was greater with chromium than with placebo.

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

この研究の注釈：

In obese type II diabetic subjects given trivalent chromium supplementation via Brewer’s Yeast (500mcg chromium) for eight weeks, supplementation was able to exert a minor hypoglycemic effect which failed to reach statistical significance (P=0.08) while trends on other biochemical parameters failed to reach statistical significance.

この研究の注釈：

4 months supplementation of 200mcg or 1,000mcg chromium (as picolinate) in type II diabetics was able to reduce fasting and postprandial blood glucose (higher dose only), fasting and postprandial insulin (both groups equally), HbA1c (higher dose only), and total cholesterol (higher dose only) with no influence on HDL nor body weight.

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.

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.

Sample was restricted to overweight and obese adults, diabetes not a prerequisite.

この研究の注釈：

Six months supplementation of chromium at 400mcg via enriched yeast to type II diabetics already on medications failed to confer any additional benefits, particularly the primary outcome (to see if a 0.5% reduction in HbA1c was reached).

この研究の注釈：

Supplementation of 500-1,000mcg chromium (as picolinate) daily for six months in persons with type II diabetes on insulin therapy (but still poorly controlled) failed to find benefits with supplementation relative to placebo.

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.

この研究の注釈：

Supplementation of 1,000mcg chromium daily for three months in type II diabetics was able to shorten QTc intervals, suggesting a cardioprotective effect (as prolonged QTc intervals are indicative of cardiovascular mortality). Aside from insulin (which was also reduced), no other parameter was influenced.

この研究の注釈：

In postmenopausal women with high cholesterol (over 200mg/dL), supplementation of 200mcg chromium daily for three months was able to enhance the proliferation of lymphocytes when they were stimulated by mitogens, but did not influence basal lymphocyte counts after 12 weeks nor did they influence any other immune cell under basal concentrations.

The proliferative property of chromium was ablated by 3mg copper supplementation.

この研究の注釈：

Low dose chromium supplementation (23.3mcg) via Brewer’s Yeast and 200mcg chromium as trichloride for eight weeks in type II diabetics both appeared to reduce both fasting and postprandial blood glucose (75g glucose tolerance test) and was able to reduce fructosamine as well.

この研究の注釈：

Supplementation of 400mcg chromium (as nicotinate) daily for 16 weeks in persons with HIV who were insulin resistant due to antiretroviral therapy appeared to improve insulin sensitivity and some other measured parameters such as triglycerides and weight when used as adjuvant.

この研究の注釈：

Supplementation of 600mcg chromium daily for a month failed to significantly modify glycogen depletion, concentrations, or resynthesis rates surrounding exercise in untrained or minorly trained men relative to placebo.

Lactate AUC was higher with chromium intake relative to placebo.

この研究の注釈：

Supplementation of 964mcg chromium (as picolinate) daily for 13 weeks in older sedentary adults given a controlled diet and exercise program failed to outperform placebo in increasing power output or modifying urinary inositols (primary goal of the study), although chromium was well tolerated.

この研究の注釈：

Supplementation of brewers yeast (conferring 42 μg chromium) in newly diagnosed diabetics for three months was able to significantly reduce blood glucose (47.6%), HbA1c (from 9.5% to 6.8%), and systolic blood pressure (12%) while causing some benefit to all lipid parameters except vLDL and HDL relative to placebo.

この研究の注釈：

The addition of 400 µg chromium (as picolinate) to antipsycotic therapy in a small sample of schizophrenic persons over three months failed to significantly influence symptoms of schizophrenia relative to control as assessed by PANSS and HAM-D rating scales.

この研究の注釈：

Supplementation of 1mg chromium as picolinate in obese adults over the course of 24 weeks failed to influence body weight either alone or in combination with nutritional education (teaching participants to eat better) and no other parameter in the blood or via CT scans was modified with supplementation.

この研究の注釈：

In otherwise healthy but overweight aged adults, the combination of chromium plus resistance training (relative to placebo and training) over 13 week dosed at 1,000mcg failed to augment the benefits of exercise (in reducing insulin AUC following an oral glucose tolerance test) and did not exert any hypoglycemic actions.

この研究の注釈：

Supplementation of 924mcg chromium (as picolinate) in older overweight women also given resistance training failed to confer additional benefits relative to placebo.

この研究の注釈：

Supplementation of 187mcg chromium (as picolinate) in women over the course of 12 weeks with a controlled diet failed to influence body mass and composition relative to placebo and did not alter biomarkers of iron metabolism.

Six weeks supplementation of 500mcg chromium as picolinate to otherwise healthy female softball athletes failed to significantly modify body composition or power output relative to placebo.

この研究の注釈：

In older men given chromium supplementation in addition to resistance training, the benefits seen with training (and placebo) were not modified by supplementation of chromium at 924mcg daily as picolinate for 12 weeks.

この研究の注釈：

Six months supplementation of chromium as picolinate (600µg or 1000µg) was able to nonsignificantly reduce symptoms of binge eating disorder (binge frequency) and weight relative to placebo, while HbA1c and blood glucose also failed to reach statistically significant reductions despite trends to do so.

この研究の注釈：

Supplementation of chromium picolinate at 500mcg or 1,000mcg for six months in persons at risk for type II diabetes has failed to influence any biomarkers of glucose metabolism and was said to not confer any protection against the development of type II diabetes.

この研究の注釈：

In untrained male subjects given chromium supplementation at 200mcg alongside a 12 week resistance training program, supplementation failed to alter any parameter any differently than placebo treatment with training.

この研究の注釈：

Chromium supplementation at 1,000mcg daily (as picolinate) increased the acute insulin response to glucose but failed to influence any other measured parameter of metabolic syndrome after 16 weeks supplementation in adults with signs of metabolic syndrome yet no diagnosed diabetes.

この研究の注釈：

In 11 middle aged obese women given 400mcg chromium (as picolinate) daily for eight weeks, there was no observable change in the anti-HMdU antibody suggesting no DNA damage from supplementation.
