代谢
镉可以通过口腔、吸入和皮肤途径被吸收。镉最初与金属硫蛋白和清蛋白结合,并主要输送到肾脏和肝脏。当镉的浓度超过了可用金属硫蛋白的量时,就会观察到毒性效应,而且已经证明镉-金属硫蛋白复合物可能具有损害性。镉不进行任何直接的代谢转化,并以原形主要在尿液中排出。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。
Cadmium is absorbed from oral, inhalation, and dermal routes. Cadmium initially binds to metallothionein and albumin and is transported mainly to the kidney and liver. Toxic effects are observed once the concentration of cadmium exceeds that of available metallothionein, and it has also been shown that the cadmium-metallothionein complex may be damaging. Cadmium is not known to undergo any direct metabolic conversion and is excreted unchanged, mainly in the urine. 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, L6)
