| Abstract | Endothelial function (EnF) is impaired in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) due in large part to an increase in oxidative stress. Haptoglobin (Hp) is a potent antioxidant protein which is encoded by two different alleles (1 and 2) with the Hp 1 protein being a superior antioxidant to the Hp 2 protein. We hypothesized that DM individuals with the Hp 2-2 genotype would have greater endothelial dysfunction as compared to DM individuals with the Hp 1-1 genotype. We studied EnF in 16 Hp 2-2, 14 Hp 1-1 DM individuals and 14 healthy subjects. DM patients’ groups were matched in terms of age, cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic characteristics. EnF was assessed using post-ischemic reactive hyperemia and strain gauge plethysmography and expressed either as the maximal flow after the ischemic period or as the area under the flow–time curve (AUC). We showed that EnF indices, AUC and maximal flow, were also higher in the healthy and Hp 1-1 groups compared with Hp 2-2 genotype group (615 ± 60 and 600 ± 40 vs. 450 ± 50 ml dl−1, 29 ± 2.6 and 25 ± 3 vs. 14 ± 1.8 ml min−1 dl−1, P < 0.003 and P < 0.05, for AUC and maximal flow, one-way ANOVA, respectively). We concluded that Hp 2-2 diabetic patients had a worse EnF than controls and Hp 1-1 diabetic subjects. |

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.
