代谢
镉可以通过口腔、吸入和皮肤途径被吸收。镉最初与金属硫蛋白和清蛋白结合,并主要输送到肾脏和肝脏。当镉的浓度超过了可用金属硫蛋白的浓度时,就会观察到毒性效应,而且已经表明镉-金属硫蛋白复合物可能具有损害性。镉不会经历任何直接的代谢转化,并以原样主要在尿液中排出。硒可以通过吸入和摄入被吸收,一些硒化合物也可以通过皮肤吸收。一旦进入体内,硒主要分布到肝脏和肾脏。硒是一种必需的微量元素,是谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶、碘甲状腺原氨酸5'-脱碘酶和硫氧还蛋白还原酶的组成部分。有机硒首先代谢为无机硒。无机硒逐步还原为中间氢硒化物,然后转化为硒磷酸和硒半胱氨酸tRNA并整合到硒蛋白中,或者转化为硒化物的甲基化代谢物后排入尿液中。元素硒在排泄前也会甲基化。硒主要通过尿液和粪便排出,但某些硒化合物也可能通过呼气排出。(L619, L6)
Cadmium is absorbed from oral, inhalation, and dermal routes. Cadmium initially binds to metallothionein and albumin and is transported mainly to the kidney and liver. Toxic effects are observed once the concentration of cadmium exceeds that of available metallothionein, and it has also been shown that the cadmium-metallothionein complex may be damaging. Cadmium is not known to undergo any direct metabolic conversion and is excreted unchanged, mainly in the urine. Selenium may be absorbed through inhalation and ingestion, while some selenium compounds may also be absorbed dermally. Once in the body, selenium is distributed mainly to the liver and kidney. Selenium is an essential micronutrient and is a component of glutathione peroxidase, iodothyronine 5'-deiodinases, and thioredoxin reductase. Organic selenium is first metabolized into inorganic selenium. Inorganic selenium is reduced stepwise to the intermediate hydrogen selenide, which is either incorporated into selenoproteins after being transformed to selenophosphate and selenocysteinyl tRNA or excreted into the urine after being transformed into methylated metabolites of selenide. Elemental selenium is also methylated before excretion. Selenium is primarily eliminated in the urine and feces, but certain selenium compounds may also be exhaled. (L619, L6)
