| Abstract | Concern has been growing over the potential hazard of nanoparticles to human health because of increasing ambient particulate air pollution. Much research has been performed on the toxicology of nanoparticles to organs. Meanwhile, particles floating in air, particularly in winter, are more serious. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of nanoparticles and cold on human health. There is little research on the effects of nanoparticles on energy metabolism. The composition of particulate matter is complicated; however, silicon in particles accounts for a significant proportion. Adipose tissue is the main organ that produces heat and maintains the body temperature in a cold environment. White adipose tissue (WAT) stores energy in the form of triacylglycerol, whereas brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy in the form of heat to maintain the body temperature. This article presents the effect of air ultra-particles and cold on the WAT and BAT. In vivo, Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: exposed to the same deposited doses of silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) by intratracheal instillation or/and cold exposure at 4 °C, 4 h per day for four weeks. Cold exposure induced weight loss and WAT browning, as indicated by pathology, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), upregulated mRNA levels of BAT and WAT specific genes and molecular switches. Intratracheal instillation of nano-SiO2 induced a slowdown in metabolism, weight gain and inhibited WAT browning, as indicated by the downregulated mRNA levels of BAT and WAT marker genes and molecular switches. This study provided direct evidence that SiO2 NPs might inhibit the effect of cold-induced white/brown adipose tissue changes in plasticity and metabolism. |

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.
