代谢
铬通过口腔、吸入或皮肤接触被吸收,并分布到几乎所有组织中,肾脏和肝脏中浓度最高。骨骼也是一个主要的储存场所,并可能导致长期保留。六价铬与硫酸盐和铬酸盐的相似性使其能够通过硫酸盐转运机制进入细胞。在细胞内,六价铬首先被还原为五价铬,然后通过许多物质,包括抗坏血酸、谷胱甘肽和烟酸腺嘌呤二核苷酸还原为三价铬。铬几乎完全通过尿液排出体外。(A12, L16)
Chromium is absorbed from oral, inhalation, or dermal exposure and distributes to nearly all tissues, with the highest concentrations found in kidney and liver. Bone is also a major storage site and may contribute to long-term retention. Hexavalent chromium's similarity to sulfate and chromate allow it to be transported into cells via sulfate transport mechanisms. Inside the cell, hexavalent chromium is reduced first to pentavalent chromium, then to trivalent chromium by many substances including ascorbate, glutathione, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Chromium is almost entirely excreted with the urine. (A12, L16)
