代谢
硒可以通过吸入和摄入被吸收,而一些硒化合物也可以通过皮肤吸收。一旦进入人体,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。有机硒首先代谢为无机硒。无机硒逐步还原为中间体氢硒化物,然后转化为硒磷酸和硒半胱氨酸tRNA并进入硒蛋白,或者转化为硒化物的甲基化代谢物后排泄到尿液中。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气排出。铝通过口服或吸入暴露后吸收不良,基本上不会通过皮肤吸收。铝的生物利用度受到铝化合物的影响,以及存在可以与铝形成复合物并增强或抑制其吸收的饮食成分的影响。铝在血液中与各种配体结合并分布到每个器官,以骨骼和肺组织中的浓度最高。在生物体中,铝被认为存在四种不同的形式:作为自由离子,作为低分子量复合物,作为物理结合的大分子复合物和作为共价结合的大分子复合物。被吸收的铝主要在尿液中排出,较少程度上在胆汁中排出,而未被吸收的铝则在粪便中排出。(L739, 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. Aluminum is poorly absorbed following either oral or inhalation exposure and is essentially not absorbed dermally. The bioavailability of aluminum is strongly influenced by the aluminum compound and the presence of dietary constituents which can complex with aluminum and enhance or inhibit its absorption. Aluminum binds to various ligands in the blood and distributes to every organ, with highest concentrations found in bone and lung tissues. In living organisms, aluminum is believed to exist in four different forms: as free ions, as low-molecular-weight complexes, as physically bound macromolecular complexes, and as covalently bound macromolecular complexes. Absorbed aluminum is excreted principally in the urine and, to a lesser extent, in the bile, while unabsorbed aluminum is excreted in the faeces. (L739, L619)
