| Abstract | A reduced adaptation to cold is a prominent feature in aged mammals, including humans. The accelerated senescence-prone strain of mice (SAMP) has been studied as an animal model for several age-associated disorders and in the acceleration of senescence. Recent studies revealed that SAMP strains have dysfunctional hyperactive mitochondria and are under a higher oxidative stress status from a young age. To investigate whether young SAMP mice show impaired cold adaptation abilities, we performed cold-exposure experiments. There were no strain differences in baseline body temperature and lowest reached temperature during cold exposure. SAMP1 mice took longer times to reach their lowest temperature in comparison to SAMR1 mice. SAMR1 mice showed an elevation in temperature following cold exposure, whereas SAMP1 mice did not. Behavioral observations demonstrated that SAMP1 mice moved more actively than SAMR1 during cold exposure. However, mRNA levels of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a heat generating protein, as well as plasma norepinephrine levels, were higher in SAMP1 than in SAMR1 mice. This newly found physiological phenotype in SAMP1 mice provides us with a tool to clarify the genetic mechanism which accelerates the senescence process and helps us develop medical means which will bring mankind to a healthy old age. |

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.
