| Abstract | To search for genes whose products modify aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-dependent toxicity caused by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), gene expression profiles in the liver were surveyed using microarrays 24 h after the administration of TCDD to three strains of female mice, BALB/cAnN (BALB), C3H/HeN (C3H) and CBA/JN (CBA) all of identical AhR genotype. The BALB/cAnN strain had a more marked induction of a number of glutathione S-transferase (GST) sub-families, particularly the GSTmu gene family, compared with the other two strains. To assess the effects of GSTs induction to metabolize carcinogens, TCDD (40 µg $kg^{−1})$ was administered to BALB and CBA strains, followed 24 h later by an i.p. injection of low or high dose of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P, 50 or 200 mg $kg^{−1}).$ The $^{32}P-postlabelling$ analysis showed that administration of TCDD alone failed to induce DNA adduct formation in both BALB and CBA strain mouse livers. The low dose of B[a]P alone produced DNA adduct in the liver of both strains to a similar extent. Treatment with TCDD 24 h before the low dose of B[a]P suppressed the formation of B[a]P-induced DNA-adduct more markedly in the BALB strain compared with the CBA strain. Taken together, these findings show that TCDD treatment causes strain-specific alterations in gene expression and B[a]P-induced DNA adduct formation in the liver of female mice of the same $AhR^{b2}$ genotype. Furthermore, it suggests that TCDD-treated female mice of the BALB strain may have genes whose products modify the toxicity of B[a]P as evidenced by TCDD-induced alterations in B[a]P-DNA adduct formation.

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.
