Seventy male SD rats (average initial body weight of (83.2±4.4) g) were randomly assigned to seven dietary treatments (n=10). At the end of the trial,body composition was assessed via dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). All rats were then sacrificed to collect samples of blood,organs and tissues for determination of serum hormones and tissue Cr contents. The results indicated that lean body mass was significantly increased (P<0.05) due to the addition of 300 and 450 ppb Cr from CrNano. Supplementation of 150,300,450,and 600 ppb Cr decreased (P<0.05) percent body fat significantly. Average daily gain was increased (P<0.05) by addition of 75,150,and 300 ppb Cr and feed efficiency was increased (P<0.05) by supplementation of 75,300,and 450 ppb Cr. Addition of 300 and 450 ppb Cr decreased (P<0.05) the insulin level in serum greatly. Cr contents in liver and kidney were greatly increased (P<0.05) by the addition of Cr as CrNano in the dosage of from 150 ppb to 1 200 ppb. In addition,Supplementation of 300,450,and 600 ppb Cr significantly increased (P<0.05) Cr content in the hind leg muscle. These results suggest that supplemental CrNano has beneficial effects on growth performance and body composition,and increases tissue Cr concentration in selected muscles.展开更多

According to this model the conductivity of (MS)_xTS_2 series and the similarity between (MS)_xTS_2 and Na_xTS_2 series compounds in metallic behaviors can be explained successfully. Some relations between metallic behaviors and CMC d-p π bond (or band) are found.展开更多

The results show that doping thetransition metal elements can effectively change the band structure and enable the alloysystem to show the stronger metallic feature. The dopants of V, Cr and Mn increase s-orbital component of Ti and Al in bonding orbital, therefore, there is more sphericalelectronic clound and weakly directional bonds in the crystal, which improve the duictil-ity of the alloy, Nb or Ta makes stronger bonding with Ti and Al, which improvestrength and oxidation resistance of the alloy.展开更多
