Cancer research, in particular, may benefit from DNA methylation analysis, because changes in the methylation status of nucleosomal DNA promise to be a powerful marker in the early detection of neoplastic events (9-11).
Indications. 1  Chromium MAX assists in the uptake of glucose into cells. 2  Chromium is a component of Glucose Tolerance Factor, the biologically active form of chromium, involved in glucose metabolism. 3  A diet high in simple sugars or refined carbohydrates increases chromium requirements.
