代谢
锰主要通过摄入被吸收,但也可以通过吸入。它在血浆中与α-2-巨球蛋白、白蛋白或转铁蛋白结合,并分布到大脑和所有其他哺乳动物组织,尽管它倾向于在肝脏、胰腺和肾脏中积累更多。锰能够存在于多种氧化状态,并且据信在体内会发生氧化状态的变化。锰的氧化状态可以影响组织的毒物动力学行为,甚至可能影响毒性。锰主要通过粪便排出。砷主要通过吸入或摄入被吸收,也有较少程度的皮肤暴露。然后它被分布到全身,如果需要,它会被还原成亚砷酸盐,然后通过亚砷酸盐甲基转移酶甲基化成单甲基砷(MMA)和二甲砷酸(DMA)。砷及其代谢物主要通过尿液排出。已知砷能诱导金属结合蛋白金属硫蛋白,金属硫蛋白通过结合砷和其他金属使它们生物活性失效,同时充当抗氧化剂,从而减少砷和其他金属的有毒效果。(L20, L228)
Manganese is absorbed mainly via ingestion, but can also be inhaled. It binds to alpha-2-macroglobulin, albumin, or transferrin in the plasma and is distributed to the brain and all other mammalian tissues, though it tends to accumulate more in the liver, pancreas, and kidney. Manganese is capable of existing in a number of oxidation states and is believed to undergo changes in oxidation state within the body. Manganese oxidation state can influence tissue toxicokinetic behavior, and possibly toxicity. Manganese is excreted primarily in the faeces. Arsenic is absorbed mainly by inhalation or ingestion, as to a lesser extent, dermal exposure. It is then distributed throughout the body, where it is reduced into arsenite if necessary, then methylated into monomethylarsenic (MMA) and dimethylarsenic acid (DMA) by arsenite methyltransferase. Arsenic and its metabolites are primarily excreted in the urine. Arsenic is known to induce the metal-binding protein metallothionein, which decreases the toxic effects of arsenic and other metals by binding them and making them biologically inactive, as well as acting as an antioxidant.
