| Abstract | A metabolomic study was performed to investigate the biochemical profiles of livers from male and female zebrafish (Danio rerio), using a multiple platform approach, incorporating 1H NMR, GC/MS and LC/MS. The reproducibility and reliability of the three methods were validated prior to the assays. Major biomolecules detected using one method were also cross examined using the other techniques. These metabolites included carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids detected using 1H NMR and GC/MS, and acetylcarnitine, choline and various phospholipids determined using 1H NMR and LC/MS. Our findings suggest that 1H NMR provided comprehensive information on glucose, amino acids, pyruvate and other smaller biochemical constituents of the zebrafish liver. On the other hand, GC/MS was able to assay cholesterol, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, and LC/MS was ideal for the analysis of lipids/phospholipids. These techniques revealed that there are significant differences in the biochemical profiles of male and female zebrafish liver tissue extracts. Specifically, we noted that although there were no significant differences observed for the carbohydrate profile, the amino acid profile was rather different in male and female zebrafish liver. Furthermore, data from all three techniques revealed that although the saturated fatty acid profile was similar, the compositions of unsaturated fatty acids were different in the two phenotypes. The overall findings suggested that this multiplatform approach offers comprehensive coverage of a metabolome as well as provides valuable insight towards understanding the different biochemical profiles of a biosystem. |

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.
