The effect of chromium administration on glucose utilization was investigated in 32 rats fed either high or low protein diet. In rats fed a low protein diet of NDpE% 4.3 the glucose removal rate increased significantly following the administration of chromium. However, the administration of chromium has no effect on the glucose removal rate in rats fed high protein diet of NDpE% 10.1. The glucose removal rate of rats kept on a diet of high protein value free from chromium was significantly higher than those kept on a low protein diet. Chromium deficiency did not appear to be the only responsible cause for the impaired glucose tolerance in animals fed low protein diet. It could be concluded that both chromium supplementation and protein ingestion promote insulin secretion.
在32只喂食高蛋白或低蛋白饮食的大鼠中，研究了铬摄入对葡萄糖利用的影响。在喂食非必需蛋白能量（NDpE）%为4.3的低蛋白饮食的大鼠中，给予铬后葡萄糖清除率显著增加。然而，给予铬对喂食NDpE%为10.1的高蛋白饮食的大鼠的葡萄糖清除率没有影响。食用不含铬的高蛋白值饮食的大鼠的葡萄糖清除率明显高于食用低蛋白饮食的大鼠。铬缺乏似乎不是喂食低蛋白饮食的动物葡萄糖耐量受损的唯一原因。可以得出结论，补充铬和摄入蛋白质都能促进胰岛素分泌。
