In an effort to enforce a sterically hindered environment in transition-metal and main-group 2-picolinate complexes, the synthesis of the encumbering derivative 6-mesityl-2-picolinate ((Mes)pic) is presented. The coordination and structural properties of (Mes)pic are demonstrated with a range of transition-metal and main-group fragments. The 6-position mesityl group of (Mes)pic is shown to alte...

A blend refers to the combination of two or more components achieve properties that are superior those found in individual products used for their production. Gracilaria birdiae agaran (SPGb) and chromium picolinate (ChrPic) both antioxidant agents. However, there is no documentation blends incorporate agarans ChrPic.

Yoghurt is a delectable fermented milk product suitable for all ages. Chromium (Cr), trace mineral found in two forms: trivalent and hexavalent. Recent studies have shown that the Cr (III), or chromium picolinate (Cri), beneficial carbohydrate metabolism. Thus, supplements are used to treat diabetes manage blood sugar. However, effect of incorporation Cri on starter growth quality yoghurt still...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of zinc sulfate and chromium picolinate on performance, body temperature, carcass characteristics, tibia ash and serum biochemical parameters of Japanese quails under heat stress condition. The birds (n = 540; 7-d-old) were randomly assigned to 9 treatment groups consisting of 3 replicates of 20 birds each in a 3 × 3 factor...

OBJECTIVE This study tested the hypothesis that supplementation of chromium picolinate (CrPic), 200 microg Cr/d, compared with an equivalent amount of picolinic acid (1720 microg) in CrPic and placebo, decreases body weight, alters body composition, and reduces iron status of women fed diets of constant energy and nutrients. METHODS We fed 83 women nutritionally balanced diets, used anthropom...

D espite widespread use by patients with diabetes and anecdotal reports in the past regarding its efficacy, until recently, data in humans concerning chromium’s effects on insulin action in vivo or on cellular aspects of insulin action were scarce. Consequently, significant controversy still exists regarding the effect of chromium supplementation on parameters assessing human health. Furthermor...
