| Abstract | Heavy metals are known to in vitro inhibit carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity in a variety of organisms; however, little is known about their in vivo effects on the activity and the expression of this metalloenzyme. The aim of this work was to investigate the in vitro and in vivo sensitivity to cadmium of CA in the digestive gland of Mytilus galloprovincialis. CA activity and protein expression (apparent molecular mass of about 28 kDa) were demonstrated in mussel digestive gland for the first time. CA activity showed week sensitivity to in vitro cadmium exposure, while it was significantly increased (about 40%) following two weeks in vivo exposure. In parallel, CA protein expression appeared significantly enhanced as demonstrated by Western blotting. Laboratory experimental results were confirmed by a field experiment. Mussels exposed for 30 days to an impacted site showed a significant increase of the CA activity and protein expression with respect to animals exposed to the control site in parallel to the increase of the metallothionein tissutal concentration. In conclusion in the present work for the first time CA activity and protein expression have been demonstrated to be enhanced by the exposure to the trace element cadmium in animals. |

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.
