2007, Environmental Toxicology and PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :The net body weight gain reduced in Cr(VI)-treated rats as compared to the control animals. The results are similar with the earlier observations where decrease in body weight due to gain in lean body mass and decrease in body fat was noted in human exposed to chromium picolinate (Gilbert et al., 1998, 1996). Occupational exposure to Cr(VI) led to reduction in sperm counts, sperm motility and shows substantial abnormalities in the histology of testis (Li et al., 2001a).
Chromium picolinate depressed proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes
2007, Nutrition ResearchCitation Excerpt :Studies have shown that chromium function improves body composition. A study by Kaats et al [12,13], in which subjects received either a placebo or 200 to 400 μg of CrPic daily, showed that CrPic leads a significant loss of fat mass. Grant et al [14] reported that 400 μg of CrPic added to the diet of subject for 16 weeks caused a significant reduction in body fat and body weight.
Chromium picolinate supplementation in women: effects on body weight, composition, and iron status
2007, NutritionCitation Excerpt :However, the reported changes in body fat and fat-free or lean body mass were calculated from actual determinations that were adjusted empirically such that self-reported increases in physical activity were interpreted as fat loss and lean body gain. Thus, the validity of the reported positive effects of chromium supplementation on changes in body composition is highly questionable [28,44,45]. The present study found no independent effects of chromium picolinate supplementation on body weight or composition.
