| Abstract | To assess the effect of agriculture drain water, a complex mixture containing pesticides and selenium (Se), on the physiological stress response, white suckers were collected from irrigation return flows in the summer and the fall and subjected to a stress challenge. Water (0.40-26.71microg/L) and muscle Se (0.37-1.52microg/g ww) levels were elevated at two sites and plasma acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity (a marker of pesticide exposure) was lower in the fall (5.97+/-0.45micromol/min/mL) than the summer (10.73+/-0.73micromol/min/mL). Fish raised plasma cortisol levels in response to the stress challenge 11.8 times above basal levels (12.8+/-4.9ng/mL). Multivariate statistics linked Se exposure to elevated plasma glucose levels, and pesticide exposure to elevated liver glycogen levels generating hypotheses for further testing. This study showed that white suckers accumulated Se from agricultural drain water and the complex mixtures present in the drain water influenced the physiological stress response. |

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.
