| Abstract | Myocardial ischemia leads to a decrease in copper (Cu) concentrations, along with collagen deposition in which Cu-dependent lysyl oxidase (LOX) catalyzes the cross-linking of collagens leading to tissue stiffness. The present study was undertaken to determine the relationship between decreased Cu concentrations and LOX activities in ischemic hearts of monkeys. Rhesus monkeys were subjected to coronary artery ligation, leading to ischemic infarction. At 8 weeks after the surgery, Cu concentrations and Cu-dependent cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) activities in the infarct area were significantly decreased. Unexpectedly, the Cu-dependent LOX activities in the same area were significantly increased. LOX proteins were accumulated in the cytosol of myofibroblasts, endothelial cells, and residual cardiomyocytes in the infarct area. In contrast, LOX was only found in fibroblasts and myocardial intercalated discs between cardiomyocytes in sham-operated controls. The LOX mRNA level was also increased in the infarct area compared to the sham operated control. This upregulation of LOX was associated with significant increases in collagen deposition; protein levels of type I and III collagens were significantly increased along with increases in their mRNA levels in the infarct area. This finding indicates that under myocardial infarction, Cu-dependent CCO activities were depressed but LOX activities were increased most likely through Cu redistribution although Cu concentrations were significantly depressed. |

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.
