OSTI ID:5315930
An extensive review of the biogeochemistry of chromium is presented. Topics dealt with in detail include: the chemistry of chromium, its occurrence in nature, chromium's interactions with proteins, nucleic acids, bacteria, yeasts and red blood cells, the biochemical aspects of low-chromium states, the effects of chromium on life span, growth, and survival, the mode and site of action in biological systems, the metabolism (including absorption, distribution, excretion, and toxicology) the effects of chromium's chemical form on biological activity, chromium nutrition in man, and the effects of chromium supplementation in man). 265 references, 12 figures, 8 tables.
