| Abstract | Exposure of humans and other mammals to hyperthermic conditions elicits many physiological responses to stress in various tissues leading to profound injuries, which eventually result in death. It has been suggested that hyperthermia may increase oxidative stress in tissues to form reactive oxygen species harmful to cellular functions. By using transgenic mice with human antioxidant genes, we demonstrate that the overproduction of glutathione peroxidase (GP, both extracellular and intracellular) leads to a thermosensitive phenotype, whereas the overproduction of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase has no effect on the thermosensitivity of transgenic mice. Induction of HSP70 in brain, lung, and muscle in GP transgenic mice at elevated temperature was significantly inhibited in comparison to normal animals. Measurement of peroxide production in regions normally displaying induction of HSP70 under hyperthermia revealed high levels of peroxides in normal mice and low levels in GP transgenic mice. There was also a significant difference between normal and intracellular GP transgenic mice in level of prostaglandin E2 in hypothalamus and cerebellum. These data suggest direct participation of peroxides in induction of cytoprotective proteins (HSP70) and cellular mechanisms regulating body temperature. GP transgenic mice provide a model for studying thermoregulation and processes involving actions of hydroxy and lipid peroxides in mammals. |

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.
