| Abstract | Marine teleosts drink seawater, and the digestive tract is a key organ of osmoregulation. The gastro-intestinal tract therefore offers a second site for the potential uptake and toxicity of waterborne metals, but how these processes might interact with the digestive functions of the tract has not been investigated previously. We therefore compared the responses of adult gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta, collected from the wild) to a chronic 22d exposure to waterborne Ag (nominally 200 microg L(-1)=1.85 micromol L(-1)), in the presence or absence of daily satiation feeding (shrimp). Ag exposure did not affect voluntary feeding rate. Feeding reduced the net whole body accumulation of Ag by >50%, with reductions in liver concentrations (high) and white muscle concentrations (relatively low) playing the largest quantitative roles. Feeding also protected against Ag buildup in the esophagus-stomach and kidney, and increased biliary and urinary Ag concentrations. The gill was the only tissue to show the opposite response. Although terminal plasma Na(+), Cl(-), and Mg(2+) concentrations were unaffected, there were complex interactive effects on osmoregulatory functions of the gastro-intestinal tract, including drinking rate, gut fluid volumes, and intestinal base secretion rates. At the end of the exposure, the plasma clearance kinetics of an arterially injected tracer dose of (110 m)Ag were faster in toadfish that had been chronically exposed to waterborne Ag, and (110 m)Ag accumulation in their red blood cells was reduced. After 32 h, higher amounts of (110 m)Ag were found in bile and urine, but lower amounts in the intestine of the Ag-exposed toadfish; there were no other differences in tissue-specific distribution. The results suggest that feeding reduces waterborne Ag uptake through the digestive tract and alters physiological responses, while chronic exposure enhances regulatory functions. The time-dependent actions of the liver in Ag scavenging and detoxification are highlighted. |

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.
