| Abstract | N-Acetyl-L-serine (NAS) is a component of dietary proteins and a minor constituent of foods as a free amino acid. The current paper reports the outcome of toxicology studies conducted to assess the safety of NAS. No evidence of mutagenicity was observed in the reverse bacterial mutation assay. Genotoxicity was not observed in the bone marrow micronucleus assay conducted in mice. No mortalities or evidence of adverse effects were observed in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats following acute oral administration at a dose of 2000 mg of NAS/kg of body weight. Similarly, no evidence of adverse effects was observed in SD rats following repeated dose dietary exposure (28-days) to targeted doses of 100, 500, or 1000 mg of NAS/kg of body weight/day. All rats survived until scheduled sacrifice and no biologically significant differences were observed in any of the response variables from the NAS exposure groups compared with untreated control groups. Based on these results, NAS does not represent a risk for mutagenicity or genotoxicity, is not acutely toxic, and the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) for systemic toxicity from repeated dose dietary exposure to NAS is 839.7 and 893.6 mg of NAS/kg of body weight/day for male and female rats, respectively. |

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.
