代谢
铯可以通过摄入、吸入或皮肤接触被吸收。铯的行为类似于钾,并且均匀分布在整个身体中。来自食物或水的胃肠道吸收是普通人群内部沉积铯的主要来源。实际上,摄入的所有铯都通过肠道吸收进入血液。铯倾向于集中在肌肉中,因为它们的相对质量较大。已经证明铯可以与钾竞争通过钾通道的运输,并且还可以替代钾激活钠泵并随后进入细胞。与钾一样,铯从体内排出相对较快,主要在尿液中。在成人中,10%的铯以2天的生物半衰期排出,其余的以110天的生物半衰期离开身体。这意味着如果某人接触到放射性铯并且移除了暴露源,那么在几个月内,大部分铯会通过正常的钾排泄途径轻易地从体内清除。(L1126' L1850)
Cesium can be absorbed following ingestion, inhalation, or dermal exposure. Cesium behaves in a manner similar to potassium and distributes uniformly throughout the body. Gastrointestinal absorption from food or water is the principal source of internally deposited cesium in the general population. Essentially all cesium that is ingested is absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestines. Cesium tends to concentrate in muscles because of their relatively large mass. Cesium has been shown to compete
with potassium for transport through potassium channels and can also substitute for potassium in
activation of the sodium pump and subsequent transport into the cell. Like potassium, cesium is excreted from the body fairly quickly, mainly in the urine. In an adult, 10% is excreted with a biological half-life of 2 days, and the rest leaves the body with a biological half-life of 110 days. This means that if someone is exposed to radioactive cesium and the source of exposure is removed, much of the cesium will readily clear the body along the normal pathways for potassium excretion within several months.
