| Abstract |
In this opinion paper the toxicokinetic behaviour of arsenosugars is reviewed and compared with that of inorganic arsenic and arsenobetaine. It is concluded that the arsenosugars are similar to inorganic arsenic in terms of metabolite formation and tissue accumulation. As a pragmatic means of generating uniform data sets which adequately represent the toxicity of arsenic in food we recommend reporting partly speciated arsenic concentrations in food commodities in three fractions: i) toxic inorganic arsenic as arsenate (after oxidation); ii) arsenobetaine as established non-toxic arsenic; and iii) potentially toxic arsenic, which includes arsenosugars and other organoarsenicals. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 September 2014.
All research outputs
#7,356,343
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Analytical & Bioanalytical Chemistry
#1,695
of 9,619 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#34,715
of 108,622 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Analytical & Bioanalytical Chemistry
#43
of 78 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,619 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 108,622 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 78 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
