Zusammenfassung: | In vitro glucose uptake and protein synthesis were measured using serum from feedlot steers fed diets supplemented with organic Cr (OCr); glucose clearance was studied using sheep as a model. Treatments investigated for glucose uptake and protein synthesis were 1) control (0ppm supplemental Cr), 2) 0.2ppm supplemental OCr from high Cr yeast, and 3) 0.4ppm supplemental OCr from high Cr yeast that contained 2,000ppm Cr (2mg Cr/g Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast) added to a 90% concentrate feedlot diet. The form of OCr supplied by high Cr yeast is presumably a glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which potentiates the action of insulin, and consists of Cr3+ centrally bound to or associated with cysteine, glutamate, glycine, and nicotinic acid residues. Serum harvested from steers fed 0.2- and 0.4-ppm OCr diets increased (P |
