To extrapolate the effects of chloroform exposure in humans, we used the chloroform mouse and the human PBPK models (Corley et al., 1990) to estimate hepatotoxic exposures in humans based on the results of the animal experiments presented here.
Grebes are water-dwelling diving birds with thick, waterproof plumage. They eat fish, aquatic insects, and other small water creatures, and they also eat their own feathers. Grebes are known for their ornate courtship displays, which are among the most elaborate displays of any bird group.
Grebes comprise a single family, Podicipedidae, of the order Podicipediformes. There are approximately 22 species, usually placed in five genera: Aechmophorus (the western grebe), Podiceps (most species), Podilymbus (the pied-billed grebes), Rollandia (Rollandâs and short-winged grebes), and Tachybaptus (dabchicks).
