Inorganic Arsenic Toxicological overview
ثبت نشده
چکیده
• Absorption of arsenic is largely dependent on the solubility and particle size • Concentrations of arsenic or its metabolites in blood, hair, nails and urine may be used as biomarkers of arsenic exposure • Blood arsenic is a useful biomarker only in the case of acute arsenic poisoning or stable chronic high-level exposure • Since the elimination of arsenic takes place mainly via the kidneys, the concentration of arsenic in the urine is a good indication of recent exposure to inorganic arsenic

متن کاملChronic exposure to methylated arsenicals stimulates arsenic excretion pathways and induces arsenic tolerance in rat liver cells.
Although inorganic arsenicals are toxic and carcinogenic in humans, inorganic arsenite has recently emerged as a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Inorganic arsenicals are enzymatically methylated to monomethylarsonic acid (MMAs(V)), dimethylarsinic acid (DMAs(V)), and trimethylarsine oxide (TMAs(V)O) in mammals. We examined the effects of chronic e...

متن کاملArsenic and Arsenic Compounds
Arsenic (atomic number, 33; relative atomic mass, 74.92) has chemical and physical properties intermediate between a metal and a nonmetal, and is often referred to as a metalloid or semi-metal. It belongs to Group VA of the Periodic Table, and can exist in four oxidation states: –3, 0, +3, and +5. Arsenite, AsIII, and arsenate, AsV, are the predominant oxidation states under, respectively, redu...
