| Abstract | A statistical mixed effects model was applied to data from a two-phased experiment in which cholinesterase activity (CA) in red blood cells (RBCs) of rats was monitored following single-and double-gavagead ministrations of the carbamate pesticide, Aldicarb. Our goals were to develop and estimate a nonlinear mixed effects model for describing the inhibition and recovery pattern of CA as a continuous function of time and Aldicarb dose, and to use the results to characterize both the typical-animal CA response and its variability across animals. The Phase 1 experiment involved adult male CD® rats randomly assigned to a control and two dose groups. Blood samples were taken via jugular cannula prior to exposure and at 11 post-dose time points (over six hours) for determination of RBC CA. The Phase II experiment was similar, but involved a second administration approximately 4.5 hours after the first. An open, one-compartment model with first-order kinetics appeared to provide an adequate structural basis for the statistical nonlinear mixed effects model, which was fit to the RBC data of the 26 treatment-group rats from both phases. For the “typical” animal, the model predicts that about a 20% (40%) maximal reduction in activity will occur for the low (high) dose group and that recovery to 90% of the baseline level will occur in 105 minutes (179 minutes) for the low (high) dose group. Based on simulated distributions derived from the model’s variance-covariance matrix of random effects, we estimated that about 99% of animals are expected to require less than 143 minutes (267 minutes) to recover to 90% of their baseline level for the low (high) dose group. Because virtually all animals had returned to near pre-exposure, levels by the time of the second administration, the level of the first dosing had little impact on the CA patterns following the second dose. |

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.
