代谢
镍主要通过肺和胃肠吸收进入人体。一旦进入人体,它会进入血液,与白蛋白、L-组氨酸和α2-巨球蛋白结合。镍倾向于积累在肺、甲状腺、肾脏、心脏和肝脏中。被吸收的镍通过尿液排出,而未被吸收的镍则通过粪便排出。砷主要通过吸入或摄入吸收,其次是通过皮肤接触。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。已知砷可以诱导金属结合蛋白金属硫蛋白,它通过结合砷和其他金属并使其生物活性失效,以及作为抗氧化剂的作用,从而减少砷和其他金属的有毒效果。
Nickel is absorbed mainly through the lungs and gastrointestinal tract. Once in the body it enters the bloodstream, where it binds to albumin, L-histidine, and _2-macroglobulin. Nickel tends to accumulate in the lungs, thyroid, kidney, heart, and liver. Absorbed nickel is excreted in the urine, wherease unabsorbed nickel is excreted 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.
