| Abstract | In order to explore the impact of mercury on fish, zebrafish were exposed in various levels of HgCl2 and the superoxide dismutase (SOD), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities were measured after 1 and 7 days exposure. Muscle RNA was also extracted for semi-quantitative RT-PCR determination of the expression of AChE, CYP1A1, Cu/Zn-SOD. It indicated that 96 h-LC50 of HgCl2 to zebrafish is 244.06 µg L−1. The AChE activity was decreased on 1st day and 7th day. The SOD activity was almost unchanged on 1st day, it showed a dose–response effect on 7th day. The expression of AChE was down-regulated on 1st day, it is consistent with the AChE activity, but the expression was showed a significant difference between exposed group and the control group on 7th day. The expression of CYP1A1 was decreased compared with the control group on 1st day. After 7 day exposure, the expression of CYP1A1 was up-regulated in 0.1LC50 group, and down-regulated in 0.4LC50 group, 0.8LC50 group, showing a stimulation effect at low concentration and inhibition at high concentration. The expression of Cu/Zn-SOD was down-regulated on 1st day, also showing an effect of stimulation at low concentration and inhibition at high concentrations. Thus HgCl2 was highly toxic to zebrafish, both the enzymatic activities and the gene transcription were changed significantly. But the change of gene transcription is earlier than enzymes activities. It indicates that gene transcript can be used as an early warning for environmental risk assessment. |

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.
