Fig. 2. Urinary chromium levels at pre-, mid- and post-test for the chromium and placebo groups. Values expressed as Mean ± SD. *Significantly different from pre-test (p < 0.05). a,bValues in the same time-point with different letters are significantly different from one another (p < 0.05). Note: Average reported pre-supplementation range = 0.2 to 0.8 ppb (from [4] and [45]). Average reported post-supplementation range = 0.8 to 1.5 ppb (from [4]).
