| Abstract | N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) is a colorless liquid with a faint amine odor, which is widely used in the world. DMF exposure may induce adverse effects on liver, but few studies showed damage to heart after exposure to DMF. In the present study, DMF was administered to ICR mice with the doses of 0.32, 0.63 and 1.26 g/kg of body weight by gavage for 90 days. The increase in the relative liver weight is accompanied with the presence of the centrilobular hepatocellular hypertrophy as well as increased serum levels of aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT). An increase of malondialdehyde (MDA) level was shown in liver homogenate, while superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) activities decreased. Heart damage was also shown in mice exposed to DMF for 90 days, although pathological examination showed only slight inflammatory cell infiltration. Increased levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), isoenzymes of creatine kinase (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were shown. Increased level of MDA was also shown in heart homogenate, in contrast with the decreased activity of SOD. These data suggested that the administration of DMF could induce liver and heart injuries and oxidative stress was involved in the toxic 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.
