Chromium in plants. Comparison between the concentration of chromium in Brazilian nonhypo and hypoglycemic plants.

J Felcman1, M L Bragança.   

Abstract

Chromium is an essential trace element and is associated with some biological pathways, especially with glucose tolerance. For these reasons, we decided to determine the concentration of chromium in two sets of Brazilian medicinal plants. The first group consisted of plants that are considered as antidiabetic, whereas the second included plants that do not have this therapeutic property. The concentration of chromium was determined by flameless atomic absorption. All the plants analyzed contain chromium in the normal range for this element, but the hypoglycemic plants contain more chromium than the others (1-4 micrograms/g compared to 0.5-1.5 micrograms/g).
