| Abstract | Diminished β3 adrenergic-stimulated thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) in senescent rats is restored by a short period of cold exposure. To investigate if the mechanism of this restoration involves preferential up-regulation of β3-adrenergic signal transduction in senescent compared with young rats, we examined the steady state levels of β3-adrenergic receptor messenger ribonucleic acid (β3AR mRNA) and the dose/response relationship for the activation of adenylyl cyclase by the selective β3-adrenergic agonist, BRL 37344 in BAT membranes from young and senescent rats with or without 2 days cold exposure at 8 °C. β3AR mRNA declined by 30% with age and by 60% with cold exposure in young rats. In contrast, cold exposure did not down-regulate β3AR mRNA in senescent rats. BRL 37344-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity was 38% less in senescent rats and was desensitized by cold exposure decreasing maximum stimulation by 78% and increasing, the dissociation constant 2.5-fold. Cold exposure decreased BRL 37344-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity to a lesser extent in senescent rats (50%), such that the activity was similar in cold-exposed young and old rats. These data indicate that although cold exposure did not, as we hypothesized, up-regulate β3-adrenergic signal transduction in the senescent rats, cold exposure preferentially down-regulated β3AR mRNA and β3AR-mediated adenylyl cyclase in the young compared with senescent rats. |

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.
