| Abstract | Dietary protein can stimulate pancreatic growth in the absence of CCK release, but there is little data on the regulation of CCK-independent growth. To identify mechanisms whereby protein stimulates pancreatic growth in the absence of CCK release, C57BL/6 control and CCK-null male mice were fed normal-protein (14% casein) or high-protein (75% casein) chow for 7 days. The weight of the pancreas increased by 32% in C57BL/6 mice and 26% in CCK-null mice fed high-protein chow. Changes in pancreatic weight in control mice were due to both cell hypertrophy and hyperplasia since there was an increase in protein-to-DNA ratio, total DNA content, and DNA synthesis. In CCK-null mice pancreatic growth was almost entirely due to hypertrophy with both protein-to-DNA ratio and cell size increasing without significant increases in DNA content or DNA synthesis. ERK, calcineurin, and mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) are activated in models of CCK-induced growth, but there were no differences in ERK or calcineurin activation between fasted and fed CCK-null mice. In contrast, mTORC1 activation was increased after feeding and the duration of activation was prolonged in mice fed high-protein chow compared with normal-protein chow. Changes in pancreatic weight and RNA content were completely inhibited, and changes in protein content were partially abated, when the mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin was administered during high-protein chow feeding. Prolonged mTORC1 activation is thus required for dietary protein-induced pancreatic growth in the absence of CCK. |

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.
