| Abstract | After cold exposure, cytochrome c oxidase (COX) activity increased about 2.5-fold within 2 weeks in the brown adipose tissue (BAT) of Djungarian hamsters. The mRNAs for COX subunits I and III and the 12 S rRNA, encoded on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), as well as mRNAs for COX subunits IV, Va and mitochondrial transcription factor A, encoded in the nucleus, were unchanged when expressed per unit of total tissue RNA. However, since total tissue RNA doubled per BAT depot, while total DNA remained unchanged, the actual levels of these transcripts were increased within BAT cells. In contrast, the abundance of mRNA for uncoupling protein was increased 10-fold, indicating specific activation of this gene. In addition, the maximal rate of protein synthesis analysed in a faithful in organello system was increased 2.5-fold in mitochondria isolated from BAT after 7 days of cold exposure. We conclude from these data that the biogenesis of thermogenic mitochondria in BAT following cold adaptation is achieved by increasing the overall capacity for synthesis of mitochondrial proteins in both compartments, by increasing their mRNAs as well as the ribosomes needed for their translation. In addition, the translational rate for COX subunits as well as all other proteins encoded on mtDNA is increased. Thus the pool of subunits encoded on mtDNA required for assembly of respiratory chain complexes is provided. By comparison with other models of increased mitochondrial biogenesis, we propose that thyroid hormone (generated within BAT cells by 5'-deiodinase, and induced upon sympathetic stimulation), which is a well known regulator of the biogenesis of mitochondria in many tissues, is also the major effector of these adaptive changes in BAT. |

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.
