| Abstract | In this study, we investigated the effects of TiO$_{2}$ nanoparticles, potential biological toxins, on zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryogenesis. We exposed zebrafish embryos to TiO$_{2}$ particles of three different diameters (12–14 nm, 80–100 nm, 150–200 nm) and compared the acute responses of the embryos during embryogenesis. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images demonstrated that 12–14 nm TiO$_{2}$ particles were small ball types, while 80–100 nm TiO$_{2}$ particles were square and ball types. Square layers were observed in the 150–200 nm TiO$_{2}$ particles. The zebrafish morphants survived that exposure to the TiO$_{2}$ nanoparticles exhibited incomplete notochord formation, with epidermal injuries observed in larvae exposed to 12–14 nm and 150–200 nm particles. In microarray analysis, several genes involved in immune response, tumor necrosis factor, and endocytosis and its regulation were differentially expressed in accordance to the nanoparticle size. Gene expression in embryos exposed to 12–14 nm particles was significantly upregulated in comparison to the control group and embryos exposed to other particle sizes. The results of the present study suggest that TiO$_{2}$ nanoparticles 12–14 nm in size have toxic effects on zebraish development. TiO$_{2}$ nanoparticles of larger sizes (80–100 nm, 150–200 nm) exhibit different types of genetic effects. |

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.
