| Abstract | The effects of nerve growth factor beta (beta-NGF) and ganglioside GM1 on forebrain cholinergic neurons were examined in vivo and in vitro. Following unilateral decortication of rats, GM1 (5 mg/kg per day) administered intracerebroventricularly could protect forebrain cholinergic neurons of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis from retrograde degeneration in a manner comparable to beta-NGF. Administered in combination with beta-NGF, GM1 produced a significant increase in choline acetyltransferase activity in the nucleus basalis magnocellularis and remaining cortex ipsilateral to the lesion. Concentrations of GM1 that were ineffective when administered alone in this lesion model, when given with beta-NGF, potentiated beta-NGF effects in both of the above brain areas. In dissociated septal cells in vitro, an increase in choline acetyltransferase activity was noted at beta-NGF concentrations as low as 0.1 pM and reached a plateau at 1 nM. A moderate (up to 35%) stimulation of choline acetyltransferase activity was observed with 10 microM GM1. The application of beta-NGF in combination with 10 microM GM1 or 0.1 microM GM1, a concentration that is ineffective in these cultures, produced a much greater increase in choline acetyltransferase activity than did beta-NGF alone. These observations support the idea that exogenously applied gangliosides can elicit trophic responses in cholinergic neurons of the central nervous system. That GM1 increases and even potentiates beta-NGF effects suggests that some of the trophic actions of this compound may be mediated through endogenous trophic factors. |

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.
