Considerações sobre cromo, insulina e exercício físico

Abstract: O cromo é um mineral-traço essencial presente em diminutas proporções em alguns alimentos como carnes, cereais integrais, oleaginosas e leguminosas. Atualmente, esse mineral tem sido utilizado como suplemento alimentar no meio esportivo com a proposta de promover maior ganho de massa muscular e maior perda de gordura corporal. Todavia, a participação do cromo no metabolismo resume-se ao aumento da sensibilidade à insulina, por meio da ligação de quatro átomos de cromo a uma proteína intracelular específica den… Show more

“…Moreover, Rodrigues (2016) and Stupka et al (2012) described no effect of organic Cr and Se supplementation on carcass characteristics of fi nishing pigs. Considering that Cr stimulates the uptake of both glucose and amino acids (GOMES et al, 2005), the rule of Cr on carcass muscle and fat deposition is probably a consequence of the increased availability of glucose to energy metabolism, sparing amino acids for protein synthesis. This could explain the greater longissimus dorsi muscle depth observed here after Cr-and Se-enriched yeast supplementation.…”

“…These results are in accordance with the expected effect of chromium, which is an increase in the amount of lean carcass at the expense of a decrease in the fat percentage. This is explained by the chromium ability to promote increased glucose uptake by the target cells, preventing the excess of plasmatic glucose, which can be converted into fat (Gomes et al, 2005).…”

“…The action of chromium in the animal metabolism induces maximization of the stimulus of glucose uptake by the cells of the target tissues due to the glucose tolerance factor (GTF) (Gomes et al, 2005). And the greater input of glucose into these cells is associated with an increased deposition of lean meat in the carcass by increasing muscle protein synthesis (Park et al, 2009).…”

“…O diabetes melitus quando associado a pacientes com FC tem início, em média, aos 20 anos de idade e as alterações do metabolismo glicêmico agravam o estado nutricional 19 . A literatura associa ao elemento traço Cr um papel de destaque no metabolismo do açúcar devido ao estímulo da insulina nas células após ligação com receptores contendo Cr, sendo a capacidade de estímulo associada à concentração desse elemento 20 . O valor médio do elemento traço Cr nas amostras de saliva dos portadores de FC foi aproximadamente 80% menor quando comparado com indivíduos saudáveis (Tabela 6), concordando com a hipótese de suscetibilidade ao diabetes melitus.…”
