| Abstract | Germfree and conventional-flora Sprague-Dawley rats were fed sodium nitrate or sodium nitrite in their drinking water (1,000 microgram/ml), and various organs, tissues, and sections of the intestinal tract were assayed for nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-) by a spectrophotometric method. When fed NO3-, germfree rats had chemically detectable levels of NO3- (only) in the stomach, small intestine, cecum, and colon. Conventional-flora rats fed NO3- had both NO3- and NO2- in the stomach, but only NO3- in the small intestine and colon. When fed NO2-, germfree rats had both NO3- and NO2- in the entire gastrointestinal tract. Conventional-flora rats fed NO2- had both ions in the stomach and small intestine, but only NO3- in the large intestine. Conventional-flora rats fed NO3- or NO2- had lower amounts of these ions in the gastrointestinal tract than comparably fed germfree rats. Control (non-NO3- or NO2--fed) germfree and conventional-flora rats had trace amounts of NO3- (only) in their stomachs and bladders. These results, in conjunction with various in vitro studies with intestinal contents, suggest that NO3- or NO2- reduction is a function of the normal bacterial flora, whereas NO2- oxidation is attributable to the mammalian host. In addition, the distribution of these ions after their ingestion appears more widespread in the body than previously thought. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
