Abstract:
After exposure of growing chicks to different concentrations of dietary chromium (Cr) as potassium chromate (K2CrO4) for a period of 3 w, the Cr uptake by different internal organs was determined. More Cr was accumulated in the kidney, liver, pancreas and spleen than in the blood, muscle, heart and lung. A very small amount was found in the brains of the birds given different concentrations of Cr.
