Abstract
Biological interest in chromium stems from its prominent role in industrial pollution and its toxicity to plants and animals. Although chromium, in traces, is known to be essential for the growth and well being of men and animals intakes at higher level have been found to be toxic, mainly to the liver and kidney of experimental animals. Exposure of humans to chromium (vi) is known to cause renal necrosis, hepatic damage and respiratory cancer. In mammals, chromium (vi) caused more damage in liver, kidney and myocardium than did chromium (iii) after an i.p. administration of potassium dichromate or chromium (iii) nitrate. However, the information on its toxicity still warrants further study. The present study reports on the effects of chromium (vi) on hematological indices in rats.
