| Abstract | Mitochondria are the particular target of arsenic (As) in the cell. Cell death induced by As is associated with mitochondrial membrane depolarization and release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria. DATS is a lipophilic organosulfur compound found in garlic, which is known for its potent biological and pharmacological effects. Hence, this study was aimed to investigate the protective role of diallyl trisulphide against As induced oxidative stress in cardiac mitochondria. Mitochondria were isolated from the heart tissue of rats from all the groups and used for this present study. The exposed rats showed significant increases in lipid peroxidation products, mitochondrial swelling, NO concentration, H2O2 production, the concentration of arsenic in cardiac tissue and mitochondria, and alterations in the lipid profile of mitochondria. Significant decreases in mitochondrial antioxidant and Krebs cycle enzymes, cytochrome-c-oxidase, ATP, Ca2+ level, oxygen consumption rate and mitochondrial membrane potential were observed in the heart mitochondria of As exposed rats. All these changes caused by As could be lessened by the pre-supplementation of diallyl trisulphide. The protective effect of DATS on the heart mitochondria was evidenced by altering all the changes induced by As and it is supported by TEM results. All these activities of DATS may be responsible for the defensive action of DATS against As induced mitochondrial damage in the heart. |

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.
