| Abstract | Organoselenium compounds exhibit antioxidant activity, as well as a variety of biological activities, with potential pharmacological and therapeutic applications. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)$_{2}$ in reversing oxidative brain damage and mitochondrial dysfunction caused by administration of acetaminophen (APAP) in mice. Mice received a toxic dose of APAP, followed by a dose of (PhSe)$_{2}$ 1 h later. Four hours after the administration of APAP, plasma was withdrawn from the mice and used for biochemical assays of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) as markers of hepatotoxicity. Brain homogenate was examined to determine oxidative stress. Isolated brain mitochondria were examined to quantify mitochondrial transmembrane's electrical potential and mitochondrial swelling and to estimate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. APAP administration caused an increase in plasma ALT and AST activities. APAP administration also caused a significant increase in the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and dichlorofluorescein oxidation in brain homogenate. Similarly, mitochondrial swelling and ROS production increased after APAP administration. APAP treatment also caused a decrease in Na$^{+}$ , K$^{+}$ - ATPase activity and in mitochondrial membrane potential. These alterations observed in the brain of APAP-treated mice were restored by (PhSe)$_{2}$. Glutathione levels were decreased by APAP, but (PhSe)$_{2}$ did not reverse this change. Treatment with (PhSe)$_{2}$ after APAP administration can reverse the neurotoxicity caused by a single toxic dose of APAP. The neuroprotective effect of (PhSe)$_{2}$ is likely associated with its antioxidant properties. |

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.
