Abstract:
:Several authors have already underlined chromium implication in glucose and lipids metabolism of humans. In this field, physiological chromium determination in serum could be helpful, but the discrepancies reported in numerous papers are confusing. Here we report some results obtained by Zeeman correction Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. This technique includes a dilution of serum with 12.5 mM ultrapure nitric acid and 0.25% Triton X-100 (final concentrations). Some main features can be outlined: (1) the contamination constitutes a serious drawback and (2) the sensitivity of the technique is critical (characteristic mass found: 1.76 pg/0.0044 A.s). Our results obtained from 27 healthy subjects (2.01 +/- 0.77 nmol/L) agree with most recent studies and indicate that serum chromium level does not seem to be sex-related.
