Description
An active trace element that enters the human body with food. It is present in the skeleton, liver, kidneys, blood (mostly in erythrocytes) and in other human tissues. The physiological role of antimony is not sufficiently studied, however, it is known that antimony forms bonds with sulfur atoms, which accounts for its high toxicity. It is eliminated from the body quite slowly, predominantly with urine.
