| Abstract | Understanding mechanisms of liver injury can enable better preclinical testing and clinical management of patients. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl$_{4}$), used extensively as a model hepatotoxicant, induces lipid perturbation and increases in plasma bile acids (BAs). An integrated transcriptomics and metabolomics approach was employed to investigate CCl$_{4}$-induced alterations in lipid and BA metabolism. Sprague–Dawley rats were treated orally with corn oil, 50 (low dose, LD) or 2,000 mg CCl$_{4}$/kg/d (high dose, HD). Animals were sacrificed at 6, 24 or 72 h. Terminal blood was collected for clinical chemistry and metabolomics analyses. Livers were harvested for histopathology, metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses. Both alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) increased in the treated groups with the greatest increases observed in the HD group at 24 and 72 h. Blood cholesterol and triglycerides (TGs) were significantly decreased in the HD group at both 24 and 72 h, and hepatocyte vacuolization was observed at these timepoints. Consistent with the clinical chemistry and histopathological data, metabolomics results showed that levels of total fatty acids increased in the liver but decreased in the blood in the HD group at the 24 and 72 h timepoints. This suggested that lipids accumulate in the liver. Primary BAs increased in both liver and blood, while secondary and conjugated BAs decreased in the liver and increased in the blood, which indicated that the BA conjugation pathway and that BA uptake by the liver were inhibited by CCl$_{4}$. Results from this study provide a better understanding of the mechanisms of CCl$_{4}$-induced hepatotoxicity. |

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.
