| Abstract | This study was conducted to determine the protective role of ascorbic acid (AA) against cytotoxicity of the phenthoate (PTA) on hepatocytes. Lipid peroxidation (LPO), nitric oxide (NO), antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, gamma glutamyl transferase and glutathione-S-transferase activities were measured. Non-enzymes antioxidant levels of reduced glutathione (GSH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), AA and total proteins (TP) were determined. The results were demonstrated that the 2 hr-LC$_{50}$ obtained for PTA value was 79.94 mM. LPO and NO were increased in hepatocytes-treated with PTA. PTA-induced oxidative stress in the isolated hepatocytes by decreasing the levels of some antioxidant enzymes. GSH levels were also diminished in PTA treated-hepatocytes as compared to DMSO hepatocytes. FRAP, AA and total protein were also decreased following treatment with PTA. These findings suggest that cytotoxicity of PTA is mediated by increasing free radical formation and decreasing the antioxidants. PTA hepatotoxicity increased in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The AA can be very effective in perhaps reducing the extent of injury and in overcoming oxidant damage caused by PTA. |

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.
