Speciation of Potentially Carcinogenic Trace Nickel(II) Ion Levels in Human Saliva: A Sequential Metabolomics-Facilitated High-Field ¹H NMR Investigation by Kayleigh Hunwin, Georgina Page, Mark Edgar, Mohammed Bhogadia, Martin Grootveld

“…However, at higher Ni(II) concentrations (140–670 µmol/L), weaker carboxylate O-donor ligands such as lactate, formate, succinate, and acetate were featured as major Ni(II) ligands, a consequence of their much higher WMSS concentrations, which were sufficient for them to compete for these higher Ni(II) availabilities. From these experiments, the metabolites most affected were found to be histidine ≈ methylamines > taurine ≈ lactate ≈ succinate > formate > acetate ≈ ethanol ≈ glycine ≈ N-acetylneuraminate, although they predominantly comprised carboxylato oxygen donor ligands/chelators at the higher added Ni(II) levels. …”
