代谢
镍主要通过肺和胃肠吸收。一旦进入体内,它就会进入血液,在那里它与白蛋白、L-组氨酸和_2-巨球蛋白结合。镍倾向于积累在肺、甲状腺、肾脏、心脏和肝脏中。吸收的镍通过尿液排出,而未被吸收的镍通过粪便排出。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,硝酸盐可以在胃肠中转化为亚硝酸盐,显著增加硝酸盐的毒性。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。(L1137, L41)
Nickel is absorbed mainly through the lungs and gastrointestinal tract. Once in the body it enters the bloodstream, where it binds to albumin, L-histidine, and _2-macroglobulin. Nickel tends to accumulate in the lungs, thyroid, kidney, heart, and liver. Absorbed nickel is excreted in the urine, wherease unabsorbed nickel is excreted in the 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, L41)
