Abstract

Many studies were conducted on chromium (Cr) nutrition. Since earlier, Cr was accepted as an essential nutrient/mineral. Also, close relationship between dietary Cr and carbohydrate metabolism was revealed in detail. Although some effects of dietary Cr on immune response were revealed by earlier in vitro studies, interests on farm-based effects have been recently focused. In this review, the effects of dietary Cr on immune system have been emphasized.

Krom ile Beslemenin Bağışıklık Sistemi Üzerine Etkileri

Abstract

Krom (Cr) beslemesi üzerine birçok çalışma yapılmıştır. İlk dönemlerde araştırmacılar tarafından esansiyel bir besin maddesi/mineral olarak kabul edilmiş ve karbonhidrat metabolizması ile yakın ilişkisi detaylı biçimde ortaya konmuştur. Erken dönemde Cr mineralinin bağışıklık sistemi üzerine bazı etkileri olduğu in vitro çalışmalar ile keşfedilmiştir. Son yıllarda ise bu etkilerinin çiftlik bazındaki yansımaları ortaya konmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Cr beslemesinin bağışıklık sistemi ve yanıtına etkileri incelenmiştir.
