| Abstract | A metallomic analytical approach based on the use of size exclusion chromatography coupled to ICP-MS has been used to obtain metal profiles related to overexpression or inhibition of metal-binding biomolecules, which is connected to exposure experiment of laboratory mice Mus musculus to toxic metals, such as Cd, Hg and As. Exposure to Cd induces the formation of Cd-metallothionein in liver that reveals the protective role of this organ; however, exposure to Hg reduces the intensity of the peak associated to Cu-superoxide dismutase (Cu-SOD) while Hg-SOD peak increases, which suggests the competence of Cu and Hg for the active sites of SOD in liver that causes mercury translocation to kidney, in which the concentration of Hg as Hg-metallothionein increases drastically to be excreted by urine. It has been also observed the protective effect of selenium on mercury toxicity in blood plasma, which produces decreasing of the intensity of Se-protein in plasma with Hg exposure and correlative increases of Hg-albumin that transport mercury to kidney for excretion. Finally, arsenic exposure provokes the accumulation of small metabolites of this element, such as dimethylarsenic and monomethylarsenic for excretion. The application of the metallomic approach to liver extracts from free-living mouse Mus spretus shows the overexpression of Cu, Zn and Cd-peaks at 7 kDa (related to metal-metallothionein) in environmental contaminated sites, as well as the increase of peaks related to Cu- and Zn-SOD and Zn-albumin. However, in kidney, can be checked the presence of high concentration of arsenic small metabolites in contaminated areas, similarly to results found in exposure experiments. In addition, the application of a metabolomic approach based on direct infusion mass spectrometry to organ extracts (liver, kidney and serum) from mice (M. musculus) exposed to arsenic reveals important metabolic changes related to antioxidative activity, membrane cell damage, energy metabolism and arsenic elimination. Similar results were obtained from free-living mouse (M. spretus) from areas contaminated with arsenic. The integration of metallomics and metabolomics results provides a more comprehensive evaluation about the biological response in exposure experiments to toxic metals as well as in environmental assessment of contamination. |

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.
