This experiment was conducted to study the effects of chromium (Cr), dietary crude protein (CP) level and potential interactions between these two factors on growth rate and carcass response, insulin activity and lipid metabolism in lambs. Forty-eight, 9-week-old weaned lambs (Dorper$\times$Small-tail Han sheep, mean initial body weight = $22.96kg{\pm}2.60kg$) were used in a $2{\times}3$ factorial arrangement of supplemental Cr (0 ppb, Cr0; 400 ppb, Cr1; or 800 ppb, Cr2 from chromium yeast) and CP levels (157 g/d to 171 g/d for each animal, LP; or 189 g/d to 209 g/d for each animal, HP). Growth data and blood samples were collected at the beginning and end of the feed trial, after which the lambs were killed. Both Cr additive groups and the HP group increased final weight and average daily gain, especially the Cr1 and HP group (p<0.01). HP increased pelvic fat weight (p<0.05), fat thickness of the 10th rib (p<0.05), longissimus muscle area (p<0.01) and rate of deposition of intramuscular fat (p<0.01). Supplemental Cr decreased the rate of deposition of intramuscular fat (p<0.05). Fasting insulin level and the ratio of insulin to glucose were lower with Cr1 than other groups, but with no significant difference. Glucose concentration was not affected by any treatment. Nonesterified fatty acids increased in the Cr1 (p<0.05) and HP (p<0.05) conditions and there was a significant $Cr{\times}CP$ interaction (p<0.05). Cr1 decreased triglycerides (p<0.05) and total cholesterol (p = 0.151) and HP increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p<0.05). Cr1 decreased lipoprotein lipase activity in subcutaneous adipose tissue (aLPL, p<0.05) and the ratio of aLPL to lipoprotein lipase activity in skeletal muscle (mLPL, p = 0.079). mLPL and hepatic lipase (hHL) were not affected by any treatment. In the present study, Cr had limited effects on growth rate and carcass response, whereas Cr and CP had some notable effects on plasma metabolites and enzyme activities. Cr has a potential effect on energy modulation between lipid and muscle tissue. In addition, few $Cr{\times}CP$ interactions were observed.

Hard chromium coating technology using hexavalent chromium bath is widely used in various industries. Because of the serious health and environmental problems of hexavalent chromium, many attempts to alternate the hexavalent chromium plating have been made over 50 years. Trivalent chromium plating is one of the challengeable technologies to alternate hexavalent chromium plating. It is relatively none-toxic. Although some papers have described hard chromium coatings produced from trivalent chromium solution, it has limited the industrialization because of chemical and electrochemical problems of trivalent chromium ions. This paper introduces a number of factors for successful trivalent chromium plating, to give a some information about trivalent chromium process.

The reaction of cis-[Cr([14]-decane)(OH$_2)_2]^+$ ([14]-decane = rac-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-teraazacyclotetradecane) with auxiliary ligands {$L_a$ = citrate(cit)} leads to a new dimeric complex cis-[{Cr([14]-decane)($\mu$-cit)}$_2](ClO_4)_2$. This binuclear complex has been structurally characterized by a combination of elemental analysis, conductivity, IR and Vis spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. Analysis of the crystal structure of cis-[{Cr([14]-decane)($\mu$-cit)})($_2]^+$ reveals that each chromium has a distorted octahedral coordination environment and citrato ligands are monodentate to the two chromium atoms via the carboxyl groups. For dimeric complex the bridging geometry is as follows: Cr$\ldots$Cr = 7.361 $\AA$; Cr-O(average) = 1.958 (8) $\AA$; Cr-N range = 2.108 (9)-2.147(9) $\AA$; N(1)-Cr-N(3) (equatorial position) = 98.0(4)$^{\circ}$; N(2)-Cr-N(4) (axial position) = 166.4(4)$^{\circ}$; O(1)-Cr-N(2) = 98.1(4)$^{\circ}$; O(3)-Cr-N(4) = 96.6(3)$^{\circ}$; O(1)-Cr-O(3) = 90.4$^{\circ}$. The FAB mass spectrum of the dimeric complex displays peak due to the molecular ions cis-[{Cr([14]-decane)($\mu$-cit)})($_2]^+$ at m/z 1053.

This study evaluated the effects of different forms of chromium supplements on serum glucose, insulin and lipid concentrations in rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly assigned to one of three dietary groups and fed AIN-76 semi-purified basal diets supplemented with 300 ppb Cr from Cr methionine (CrMet) and Cr chloride $(CrCI_3)$ or without Cr (control). By the end of the $4^{th}$ week, all rats were decapitated, blood collected, and serum glucose, insulin and lipid concentrations were determined. The CrMet and $CrCl_3$ supplementation did not affect weight gain and feed efficiency ratio. However, feed intake was significantly higher in CrMet groups than control (p < 0.05). CrMet-supplemented rats had markedly increased insulin levels (p < 0.05) compared with controls. Serum lipids were not significantly different between the control and the CrMet groups. $CrCl_3$ supplementation decreased total cholesterol and triglyceride, but the decreases were only significant for the control group. $CrCl_3$ supplementation was associated with significant decreases in total cholesterol compared with CrMet supplementation. These results indicate that CrMet supplementation is effective for increasing serum insulin, and $CrCl_32$ may improve lipid concentrations, because we observed decreased serum total cholesterol and an improved total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio (THR).

본 연구는 무기태 크롬($ClCl_3$)와 유기태화 크롬인 Cr-methionine chelate(크라민®)을 첨가하였을 때 in vitro 조건에서 반추위내 발효성상과 반추미생물체 내 Cr과 Methionine을 분석하여 크라민®의 by-pass 여부를 간접적으로 증명하고자 실시하였다. In vitro 소화시험에 이용한 기초영양소는 Jar 당 반추미생물 기초 영양소로 시중에 유통되고 있는 배합사료 7g(DM), 볏짚 2g(DM) 및 Corn silage 2g(DM)을 동일하게 배합하였으며, 시험구로는 대조구(control), $ClCl_3$를 1000ppb 첨가한 T1구 및 Cr 농도가 1000ppb이 되도록 크라민®을 첨가한 T2구를 두었으며, 처리 당 5반복으로 시험을 수행하였다. T2의 pH는 모든 배양시간에서 대조구 및 T1구에 비하여 낮은 경향을 보였으며, 암모니아 농도는 배양 6시간 전까지는 대조구와 T1구에 비하여 T2구가 높은 경향을 보였으나, 배양 6시간 이후에는 모든 처리구가 일정하게 낮게 유지되었다. 총 휘발성지방산 농도는 모든 처리구가 배양시간이 경과함에 다라 지속적으로 증가하였으며, 대조구에 비하여 T1구와 T2구의 농도가 유의적으로 낮았다. In vitro 배양 12시간 동안 미생물체 건물 회수율은 T1구가 가장 낮은 반면에 T2구가 가장 효율적으로 미생물을 증가시켰다. 반추미생물체 내 Cr 농도는 대조구와 T2구간에는 차이가 없었으나(P>0.05), T1구는 유의적(P>0.05)으로 높게 나타났다. 반추미생물체 내 methionine 및 cyctine 농도는 대조구와 T2구간에는 차이(P>0.05)가 없었으나, T1구는 비교적 낮은 경향을 보였다. 본 시험의 결과를 종합해 보면, 크라민®의 첨가에 따른 in vitro 배양액내 pH 및 암모니아 농도를 포함한 발효특성에 대한 부의 영향은 없는 것으로 판단되며, 오히려 미생물체 단백질의 합성에 이용되어 암모니아의 생성량과 총미생물 건물 회수량을 증가시킬 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 크라민®은 반추 미생물에 의해 상당히 제한적으로 분해되기 때문에 반추위를 회피해서 소장으로 by-pass 되어 이용된 것으로 판단되었다.

For diamond/metal composites it is better to use diamond particles coated with metal carbide because of improved wettability between the diamond particles and the matrix. In this study, the coating of diamond particles with a chromium carbide layer is investigated. On heating diamond and chromium powders at $800{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ in molten salts of LiCl, KCl, $CaCl_2$, the diamond particles are coated with $Cr_7C_3$. The surfaces of the diamond powders are analyzed using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The average thickness of the $Cr_7C_3$ coating layers is calculated from the result of the particle size analysis. By using the molten salt method, the $Cr_7C_3$ coating layer is uniformly formed on the diamond particles at a relatively low temperature at which the graphitization of the diamond particles is avoided. Treatment temperatures are lower than those in the previously proposed methods. The coated layer is thickened with an increase in heating temperature up to $900^{\circ}C$. The coating reaction of the diamond particles with chromium carbide is much more rapid in $LiCl-KCl-CaCl_2$ molten salts than with the molten salts of $KCl-CaCl_2$.

인슐린 작용을 강화시키는 LMWCr의 발견과 크롬 결핍과 관련 있는 포도당 불내성(glucose intolerance)이 크롬 투여 시 반응을 보여준 임상적 증명 이후, 크롬은 확실한 필수 영양소로 인식되고 보조제로 사용되고 있다. 시험관 실험에서 고농도의 3가 크롬을 배양 세포에 노출 시, 일부 연구 결과에서 염색체이상 유발과 변이원성 효과가 발견되긴 하였으나 이는 비타민 A, D, 니코틴산, 셀레늄 등과 같은 많은 다른 영양소의 과잉 섭취 시 독성 효과를 나타내는 정도로 해석되며, 시험관 실험 결과들이 발암성의 증거로 해석되지는 않는다. 3가 크롬을 경구 보조제로 투여된 임상 치료에서 환자들은 독성효과를 보이지 않았으며, 혈장 내 크롬 수치가 비 투여된 사람들에 비하여 조금 높았다. 크롬을 TPN 형태로 투여받은 환자들에게서도 우려했던 신체ㆍ정신적 효과와의 상관 관계가 없었으며 신기능부전을 나타낸 경우는 신장 독성을 주는 약들을 함께 복용한 경우로서, 우려되는 부작용은 없는 것으로 인정된다. 임상학적, 실험적으로 사용된 3가 크롬의 용량은 ESADDI 규정된 범위 50∼200 $\mu$g/day에서 전혀 독성을 나타내지 않았으며, 일반적인 사용에 기준이 될 것이다. EPA는 모든 관련 자료들을 검토한 후에 크롬의 참고용량 (RfD) 수치를 70 mg/day로 결론지었으며, 다른 영양소들의 용량과 비교했을 때 대단히 넓은 수치이다. 3가 크롬은 당뇨병, 임신성 당뇨병, 인슐린 내성, 비정상적 지방대사를 개선시키기 위한 영양소로서 가능성을 가진다. 또한 크롬의 보충은 제II형 당뇨병과 다양한 심혈관계 질환을 예방하거나 치료하는데 가장 유용한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 앞으로는 크롬 보조제 사용 시, 일부 연구자들이 3가 크롬 1000 $\mu$g/day의 안전성을 입증한 것과 같이 용량을 늘려 임상실험을 시도한 후 안전과 효능을 증명하는 것이 필요하다.

Carburizing of a 12%Cr steel containing 0.6%Si was performed at 950$^{\circ}C$ for various times, and the microstructure, hardness and the water characteristics of the carburized chromium steel were examined. The results obtained in this study are as follows: 1. Carbide-dispersed layer (CD layer) with fine dispersion of $Cr_7C_3$ in martensite matrix was formed by carburizing. The radius and amount of the carbides in the surface region of CD layer were about 0.3${\mu}m$ and 35% by volume, respectively. 2. Chromium steel carburized and quench-tempered showed better wear resistance and hardness than ordinary high chromium tool steel. It is concluded from these results that fine dispered carbides are very effective in improving wear resistance and hardness.
