| Abstract | Vanadium has potential medical and pharmacological uses although it may also show genotoxic effects. Biological effects of boron are defined, but its interaction with vanadium is not known for therapeutic uses. The objective of present study was especially to determine whether boron compounds (boric acid and borax) conferred the protection against vanadium(IV) tetraoxide genotoxicity. After the application of vanadium (5, 10 and 20mg/l) and boron compounds (5 and 10mg/l), blood cultures were assessed by genetic endpoints and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). According to our results, vanadium(IV) tetraoxide induced a reduction in proliferation index (PI). Besides, the frequencies of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs), micronuclei (MN) rates and chromosomal aberrations (CAs) in peripheral lymphocytes were significantly increased by vanadium(IV) tetraoxide (10 and 20mg/l) compared to controls. On the other hand, boric acid and borax did not show cytotoxic and genotoxic effects at the concentrations tested. Moreover, these compounds elevated TAC in erythrocytes. The order of anti-genotoxicity efficacy against vanadium was boric acid and borax, respectively. In conclusion, boron compounds have been shown to protect vanadium-induced DNA damage in vitro for the first time. |

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.
