代谢
硒可能通过吸入和摄入被吸收,而一些硒化合物也可能通过皮肤被吸收。一旦进入体内,硒主要分布到肝脏和肾脏。硒是一种必需的微量元素,是谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶、碘甲状腺原氨酸5'-脱碘酶和硫氧还蛋白还原酶的组成部分。有机硒首先被代谢成无机硒。无机硒逐步还原为中间体氢硒化物,然后被转化为硒磷酸和硒半胱氨酸tRNA并整合到硒蛋白中,或者在被转化为硒化物的甲基化代谢物后排入尿液中。元素硒在排泄前也会被甲基化。硒主要通过尿液和粪便排出,但某些硒化合物也可能通过呼吸排出。(L619)
Selenium may be absorbed through inhalation and ingestion, while some selenium compounds may also be absorbed dermally. Once in the body, selenium is distributed mainly to the liver and kidney. Selenium is an essential micronutrient and is a component of glutathione peroxidase, iodothyronine 5'-deiodinases, and thioredoxin reductase. Organic selenium is first metabolized into inorganic selenium. Inorganic selenium is reduced stepwise to the intermediate hydrogen selenide, which is either incorporated into selenoproteins after being transformed to selenophosphate and selenocysteinyl tRNA or excreted into the urine after being transformed into methylated metabolites of selenide. Elemental selenium is also methylated before excretion. Selenium is primarily eliminated in the urine and feces, but certain selenium compounds may also be exhaled. (L619)
