Abstract: There is no doubt: chromium is an essential trace element. Its significance for the carbohydrate metabolism has been verified. lnfluencing hyperinsulinemia and the lipid metabolism results in therapeutical aspects.Examinations showed, that a relatively high level of immunoreactive insulin normalized in 6 subjects during chromium supplementation.A disturbance of insulin susceptibility and hyperinsulinemia is one of the most important parameters in the case of the metabolic syndrome.Observations of the course in the case of three patients with serum LDL values, which were significantly increased for a long period, showed a reduction into the normal range during the administration of chromium. Increased LDL cholesterol is a risk factor in case of atherogenesis.
