代谢
砒霜主要通过吸入或摄入被吸收,较少程度上通过皮肤暴露。然后它被分布到全身,如果需要,它会被还原成亚砷酸盐,然后通过砷酸盐甲基转移酶甲基化成单甲基砷(MMA)和二甲砷酸(DMA)。砒霜及其代谢物主要通过尿液排出。已知砒霜可以诱导金属结合蛋白金属硫蛋白,通过结合砒霜和其他金属并使它们生物学上不活跃,以及充当抗氧化剂,从而减少砒霜和其他金属的有毒效果。铝在口服或吸入暴露后吸收不良,基本上不通过皮肤吸收。铝的生物利用率受到铝化合物的影响以及可以与铝形成复合物并增强或抑制其吸收的饮食成分的存在。铝与血液中的各种配体结合并分布到每个器官,在骨骼和肺组织中浓度最高。在生物体中,铝被认为存在四种不同形式:作为自由离子,作为低分子量复合物,作为物理结合的大分子复合物和作为共价结合的大分子复合物。吸收的铝主要通过尿液排出,较少程度上通过胆汁排出,而未吸收的铝通过粪便排出。(L739, L20)
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. Aluminum is poorly absorbed following either oral or inhalation exposure and is essentially not absorbed dermally. The bioavailability of aluminum is strongly influenced by the aluminum compound and the presence of dietary constituents which can complex with aluminum and enhance or inhibit its absorption. Aluminum binds to various ligands in the blood and distributes to every organ, with highest concentrations found in bone and lung tissues. In living organisms, aluminum is believed to exist in four different forms: as free ions, as low-molecular-weight complexes, as physically bound macromolecular complexes, and as covalently bound macromolecular complexes. Absorbed aluminum is excreted principally in the urine and, to a lesser extent, in the bile, while unabsorbed aluminum is excreted in the faeces. (L739, L20)
