Assessment of the Serum Chromium Level in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
نویسنده
چکیده
Chromium is an essential micronutrient which is required for normal insulin effect and regulation of blood sugar level. Serum chromium status of patients with type 2 diabetes was compared with control non-diabetic subjects. Blood samples were collected and serum glucose level of both groups was determined. The serum chromium concentration of samples was measured by flame-less atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results showed significant differences between mean of serum chromium concentration of diabetic patients (4.58μg/l) compared with control group (7.92μg/l). We found no significant differences between chromium level of women and men either among the diabetics or non-diabetic control groups. The finding of this study confirmed the idea that chromium is an essential microelement in diabetes.
