| Abstract | Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), a class of flame retardants, are bioaccumulative toxins that can biomagnify in food webs. However, little is known about the toxicokinetics of total and congener-specific BDEs in lower vertebrates. The authors exposed northern leopard frog (Lithobates (Rana) pipiens) tadpoles to diets containing DE-71 (a pentabromodiphenyl ether mixture (0 ng/g as control, 71.4 ng/g, and 634 DE-71 ng/g wet mass)) for 50 d, followed by a period of depuration during which they were fed only undosed (control) food. After 28 d, tadpoles eliminated over 94% of the ΣPBDEs from their tissues (t½ = 5.9 ± 1.9 d) with no significant differences in elimination rates for the predominant congeners. Elimination of BDE-99 was independent of dose, indicating first-order kinetics. It did not fit a biexponential model significantly better than a monoexponential model, indicating single-compartment elimination. To compare developmental life-stage kinetics following larval exposure, the authors collected individuals at the beginning and end of metamorphosis and at 70 d postmetamorphosis. During metamorphosis, total-body residues per individual did not significantly change, implying little to no elimination. After 70 d, juvenile frogs eliminated 89.7% of the ΣPBDEs from their tissues, and BDE-47 was eliminated at a faster rate (t½ = 17.3 d) than BDE-99 and BDE-100 (t½ = 63.0 d and 69.3 d, respectively). Because the kinetics of PBDEs in L. pipiens differed among life stages, developmental life stage-especially for species that undergo metamorphosis-should be considered when determining the toxicity of persistent organic pollutants. |

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.
