| Abstract | BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare the chromium levels of plasma (PCL), erythrocyte (ECL) and urine (UCL) in type 1 diabetics and healthy subjects and to review the relation between metabolic parameters. METHODS: We evaluated 165 subjects who were: newly diagnosed type 1 diabetics (group 1 [n= 29]); previously diagnosed type 1 diabetics (group 2 [n= 18]); non-diabetic control subjects who were admitted and treated for any reason in hospital (group 3 [n= 21]); and two other groups of control subjects from two schools that have different socioeconomic levels (group 4 [n= 48] and group 5 [n= 49]). RESULTS: PCL in group 1 and group 2 subjects (7.21 ± 4.78 and 10.94 ± 3.04 mcg/L, respectively) was significantly lower than in all control groups (21.84 ± 7.87, 16.11 ± 7.44, 17.25 ± 8.58 mcg/L, respectively) (P < 0.05). A significant difference in PCL between the group 1 and group 2 subjects was present (7.21 ± 4.78 and 10.94 ± 3.04, respectively) (P= 0.021). ECL (as tissue chromium) in group 1 and group 2 subjects (13.99 ± 11.37 and 19.64 ± 12.58, respectively) was significantly lower than in all control groups (28.20 ± 7.34.25, 49 ± 12.47, 26.37 ± 9.77 mcg/L, respectively) (P= 0.05). UCL in group 1 and group 2 subjects (11.44 ± 6.88 and 15.68 ± 6.75 mcg/L, respectively) was significantly lower than in group 3 subjects (28.83 ± 9.37 mcg/L) (P < 0.05). There were significant correlations between length, bodyweight and PCL in the group 1 subjects (r = 0.42, P= 0.22 and r = 0.53, P= 0.03, respectively). There was a negative correlation between plasma glucose and UCL, which was not statistically significant in group 2 subjects (r =-0.4, P= 0.061). CONCLUSION: There was a negative chromium balance in type 1 diabetics. This negative balance may affect the insulin function badly. If this negative balance should be confirmed by recent studies we suggest that chromium supplementation with insulin is necessary for type 1 diabetes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
