| Abstract | Aging of the normal brain is accompanied by changes in its structure, function, and metabolism. There are significant gender differences in aging brain. Most of these changes increase during menopausal condition in females when the level of estradiol and progesterone are decreased. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of estradiol and progesterone (separate as well as combined) hormones in neuronal tissues from naturally menopausal rats of different age groups. Results show decreased activity of Acetylcholine esterase (AChE) whereas the level of lipid peroxidation increased with age, and after the hormone treatments both AChE activity and level of lipid peroxidation returned to control values. The deposition of lipofuscin, a pigment that accumulated intraneuronally in brain and other tissues and is considered a marker of aging, was increased with aging and the hormone treatment decreased this deposition. The present study clearly shows reduction in risk factors associated with aging in the murine model system by hormone treatments, namely estrogen and progesterone by increasing the activity of acetylcholine esterase and decreasing the levels of lipid peroxidation and lipofuscin deposition in different parts of aging brain. This study suggests that hormone replacement therapy may either reduce or delay the onset of age related diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other neurological disorders. |

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.
