代谢
铀通过口服、吸入和皮肤途径被少量吸收。体内的铀通常以尿anyl离子(UO2)2+的形式存在,与阴离子如柠檬酸盐和碳酸氢盐或血浆蛋白结合。铀优先分布到骨骼、肝脏和肾脏。进入体内的铀大部分不被吸收,并通过尿液和粪便从体内排出。摄入一定量的硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐是人类氮循环的正常部分。在适当的条件下,硝酸盐可以在胃肠道内转化为亚硝酸盐,显著增强硝酸盐的毒性。硝酸盐的主要代谢途径是转化为亚硝酸盐,然后转化为氨。亚硝酸盐、硝酸盐及其代谢物通过尿液排出体外。
Uranium is absorbed in low amounts via oral, inhalation, and dermal routes. Uranium in body fluids generally exists as the uranyl ion (UO2)2+ complexed with anions, such as citrate and bicarbonate, or plasma proteins. Uranium preferentially distributes to bone, liver, and kidney. The large majority of uranium that enters the body is not absorbed and is eliminated from the body via the urine and faeces. Intake of some amount of nitrates and nitrites is a normal part of the nitrogen cycle in humans. In vivo conversion of nitrates to nitrites can occur in the gastrointestional tract under the right conditions, significantly enhancing nitrates' toxic potency. The major metabolic pathway for nitrate is conversion to nitrite, and then to ammonia. Nitrites, nitrates, and their metabolites are excreted in the urine. (L1137, L248)
