Chromium helps the master hormone, insulin, function normally so that carbohydrates can be converted into energy. Chromium also is necessary for metabolize (“burning”) of fat and protein...

Yes. Chromium increases the sensitivity of the body to insulin which, in some unknown way, I believe increases the brain chemicals that regulate mood. See similar questions...

The reason chromium is so important is that it has a profound effect on the insulin in your body. Insulin is a hormone that your body secretes after you eat. Insulin then transports glucose through your blood stream to the cells in your body. Glucose is the fuel that lets your body do all its necessary functions - such as burn fat and make muscle mass. The problem is when you do not have enough chromium in your body - your insulin doe not work as effectively as possible. See similar questions...

The mechanism of chromium's possible blood sugar regulation activity is not well understood. Chromium may enhance insulin activity and sensitivity. Chromium may improve the liver's role with insulin and blood sugar regulation. The mechanism of the possible cholesterol lowering activity of chromium is unknown. This effect may be due to the impact on blood sugar and insulin. Chromium supplements are generally well tolerated. See similar questions...

We do not know if exposure to chromium will result in birth defects or other developmental effects in people. Birth defects have been observed in animals exposed to chromium(VI). It is likely that health effects seen in children exposed to high amounts of chromium will be similar to the effects seen in adults. See similar questions...

Nicotine is processed very quickly- it will exit your body within a day of its consumption. However, this rapid metabolism also causes nicotine withdrawal symptoms to start the day you quit. Fortunately, these symptoms can be controlled with nicotine replacement therapy or will resolve on their own within a week. See similar questions...

The endocrine system stimulates all of the systems and organs in your body. The hormones produced by this system amongst many other benefits increases your metabolism, helping to break down fat, build proteins, and create lean muscle. Because it affects almost all of the different systems of the body, it is this body system that we refer to as the "fountain of youth system" due to its youth-promoting benefits when optimally functioning. Consider it the body's "master bodily system. See similar questions...

Too much lead can harm both children and adults. No one knows exactly how much lead it takes to cause health problems. Many times there are no symptoms until the health problems are very serious. Usually people who are lead poisoned do not seem to be sick. Lead poisoning can cause learning, behavior and health problems in young children. Lead can cause high blood pressure and kidney damage in adults. See similar questions...

Melanoma can occur on any part of the body. Primary tumors are most common on the trunk in men and on the lower extremity (thighs, legs, feet) in women. Studies have concluded that incisional biopsies of melanoma do not cause the tumor to spread locally or metastasize. See similar questions...

When Carbon Monoxide (CO) is inhaled, it combines with hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin carries the oxygen to every part of the body. The reaction of CO with hemoglobin causes the body's oxygen delivery to be greatly disturbed, leading to reduced oxygen to all parts of the body, commonly called oxygen starvation. From the FAA's Advisory Circular (AC 20-32B), "Oxygen starvation of the brain reduces a person's ability to reason and make decisions. See similar questions...

For a Shedite possession, the Seraph gets both names. For a Kyrio or someone using the Song of Possession, you get only the current possessor since the real "owner" is in the Marches. In the latter case, the GM may allow the Seraph to make a Perception roll, with a good roll giving both names and intermediate rolls clueing in the Seraph that something is fishy. Last checked on 6/1/05, but I haven't doublechecked the APG and can't while a five-year-old is clinging to me. See similar questions...

The ADA (American Dietetic Association), National Cancer Institute and American Cancer Society recommends fibre consumption between 25 to 35 gm per day or 10 to 13 gm fibre per 1000 kcal each day. For example, if someone needs 2000 kcal of food substances per day, then his daily fibre needs is between 20 to 26 gm. According to ADA (American Dietic Association) recommendation, one's fibre needs is equal to his age (in years) plus 5 gm of fibre per day. See similar questions...

BONES AND TEETH - The main function of calcium is the development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. Bone is made up of cells and fiber embedded in a mineral matrix, which is mostly crystals of calcium phosphate. One form of bone calcium is bound tightly within the bone and the other is easily removed to maintain blood levels. Calcium is removed from the tightly bound part of the bone only when the more mobile stores are exhausted and dietary intake is inadequate. See similar questions...
