| Abstract | The mechanism(s) by which low density lipoprotein (LDL) attenuates the release of endothelial-derived nitric oxide (EDNO) is not known but may involve inhibition of membrane signal transduction. To test this hypothesis, we treated bovine aortic endothelial cells with LDL (0-500 micrograms/ml, 72 h) to determine its effect on G proteins (G(i) and Gq) which are known to couple the bradykinin receptor to EDNO release. Bradykinin-stimulated EDNO release was measured by perfusion bioassay and showed a maximal 56% decrease which was unaffected by cotreatment with pertussis toxin (PTX, 100 ng/ml, 16 h). Although radioligand binding studies and Western blotting did not detect any significant changes in the amount of bradykinin receptor, alpha i2, alpha i3, and alpha q, both agonist-stimulated GTPase activity and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) hydrolysis were reduced by LDL treatment (77 and 70%, respectively). When G(i) and Gq function in LDL-treated membranes were assessed by PTX and COOH-terminal antisera to alpha i2 (P4), alpha i3 (JL14), and alpha q (Q17), only the Q17 antisera caused a further reduction in GTPase activity and PIP2 hydrolysis while treatment with PTX alone or in combination with the P4 and JL14 antisera had no further inhibitory effect. These results suggest that LDL attenuates EDNO release by preferentially inhibiting the function of Gi. |

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.
