代谢
铅和砷通过吸入、口服和皮肤接触被吸收。砷随后在体内分布,根据需要被还原成亚砷酸盐,然后通过亚砷酸盐甲基转移酶被甲基化成单甲基砷(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,通过绑定砷和其他金属并使其生物活性失效,同时充当抗氧化剂,从而减少砷和其他金属的毒性效应。铅主要分布到骨骼和红细胞中。在血液中,铅可能被发现与血清白蛋白或金属结合蛋白金属硫蛋白结合。有机铅通过细胞色素P-450酶代谢,而无机铅与δ-氨基酮戊酸脱水酶形成复合物。铅主要通过尿液和粪便排出。
Lead and arsenic are absorbed following inhalation, oral, and dermal exposure. Arsenic 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. Lead is distributed mainly to the bones and red blood cells. In the blood lead may be found bound to serum albumin or the metal-binding protein metallothionein. Organic lead is metabolized by cytochrome P-450 enzymes, whereas inorganic lead forms complexes with delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase. Lead is excreted mainly in the urine and faeces.
