| Abstract | Cerium oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have wide commercial applications. Understanding their fate in the body is fundamental to toxicological evaluations. We compared bioavailability, tissue distribution, clearance and excretion of radioactive 141Ce after intratracheal instillation (IT), gavage, or intravenous (IV) injection of neutron-activated 141CeO2 NPs and 141CeCl3 (ionic 141Ce) in Wistar Han rats. First, we evaluated pulmonary responses to IT-instilled CeO2 NPs and CeCl3 and observed dose-dependent inflammatory effects. Then, groups of rats were IT-instilled with 1 mg kg−1 of 141CeO2 NPs or 0.1 mg kg−1 141CeCl3. Sequential analyses of lungs over 28 days showed slow lung clearance of 141CeO2 NPs (half-life = ~140 days) and of ionic 141Ce (half-life = ~55 days). However, less than 1% and 6% of instilled 141Ce was measured in selected extrapulmonary organs in 141CeO2 NPs and ionic 141Ce groups, respectively. Following gavage (5 mg kg−1), nearly 100% of both test materials was excreted in the feces. Since detected 141Ce activity in tissues could be in nanoparticulate or dissolved form, we also compared the 141Ce tissue distribution post-IV injection with the IT and gavage data. Both IV-injected ionic 141CeCl3 and 141CeO2 NPs were predominantly retained in the liver, bone and spleen, all organs that typically remove circulating particles. We conclude that nanoceria is slowly cleared from the lungs but has minimal extrapulmonary accumulation. Potential risks from prolonged pulmonary retention need further investigation. Risk from ingested nanoceria is likely far lower due to very low absorption and rapid elimination of ceria not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. |

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.
