The action of chromium metal ion as a cofactor or as an allosteric activator in response to its effect exerted on the insulin hormone activity.
Introduction:
Insulin hormone is involved in the regulation of glucose level of blood and is produced by the beta cells present in pancreatic islets. The hormone enhances uptake of glucose by the skeletal muscle and adipose cells.

What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
