Resumen


RESUMEN
Debido al uso intensivo que ha tenido, el cromo se ha convertido en un contaminante. Son numerosos los reportes y revisiones en la bibliografía sobre el impacto que tiene en el medio ambiente y los mecanismos de interacción y daño en seres vivos. En este trabajo se presenta un resumen de las primeras evidencias y estudios sobre el impacto del cromo en la salud humana, su papel como micronutriente y su uso en la investigación biológica básica.
Palabras clave: Cromo, técnicas bioquímicas y salud humana
ABSTRACT
Due to its intensive use, chromium has become a pollutant. There are numerous reports and reviews in the literature on the impact it has on the environment and the interaction mechanisms and damage to living beings. This paper summarizes the early evidence and studies on the impact of chromium in human health, its role as a micronutrient and its use in basic biological research.
Key words: Chromium, biochemistry techniques and human health
