Adverse effects
- potentially clastogenic[3] & cytotoxic[9]
- clinical reports of toxicity few & ambiguous[10]
- dermatitis[11]
Mechanism of action
- facilitates carbohydrate & lipid metabolism[2][5]
- reduces insulin resistance
- shortens QTc interval in overweight type 2 diabetics[1]
- no benefit in strength with resistance training[4]
- benefit for weight reduction may be small[7]
- tissue distribution[8]
- enters tissue cells intact
- taken up by kidney, muscle, & live
- subcellular location
- most in nucleus & mitochondria
- less in cytosol, lysosomes & microsomes
- see Cr+3
