Description

Chromium picolinate (Chromium (III) picolinate) is a compound that has oral activity. Chromium picolinate induces apoptosis. Chromium picolinate is the activator of p38 MAPK. Chromium picolinate has antioxidant activity. Chromium picolinate can be used in research on type 2 diabetes[1][2][3][4].

In Vitro

Chromium picolinate (5-100 μM, 24-72 h) induces lymphocyte apoptosis through ROS and mitochondrial events[1].
Chromium picolinate (100 nM, 24 h) exerts hypoglycemic effects in insulin-resistant 3T3-L1 adipocytes by activating p38 MAPK[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
