代谢
汞主要通过摄入和吸入被吸收,然后通过血液流布全身,其中一部分会与血红蛋白上的巯基团结合。汞可以经过氧化变成汞离子,这一过程通过过氧化氢酶-过氧化氢途径进行。汞原子能够扩散到过氧化氢酶酶隙中,到达含有血红素环的活性位点。由于过氧化氢酶-过氧化氢途径普遍存在,氧化最可能发生在所有组织中。氧化后,汞倾向于在肾脏中积累。汞主要通过呼气和粪便排出体外。氰化物通过口服、吸入和皮肤途径迅速被吸收并分布到全身。氰化物主要通过罗丹酶或3-巯基丙酸硫转移酶代谢成硫氰化物。氰化物的代谢物通过尿液排出体外。(A6, L7, L96)
Mercury is absorbed mainly via ingestion and inhalation, then distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream, where a portion binds to sulfhydryl groups on haemoglobin. Mercury can undergo oxidation to mercuric mercury, which takes place via the catalase-hydrogen peroxide pathway. The mercury atom is able to diffuse down the cleft in the catalase enzyme to reach the active site where the heme ring is located. Oxidation most likely occurs in all tissue, as the catalase hydrogen peroxide pathway is ubiquitous. Following oxidation, mercury tends to accumulate in the kidneys. Mercury is excreted mainly by exhalation and in the faeces. Cyanide is rapidly alsorbed through oral, inhalation, and dermal routes and distributed throughout the body. Cyanide is mainly metabolized into thiocyanate by either rhodanese or 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfur transferase. Cyanide metabolites are excreted in the urine. (A6, L7, L96)
