| Abstract | Extensive research has shown that a high plasma concentration and oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) has an important role in atherogenesis. The affinity of LDL to its classic receptor is reduced due to oxidation. Instead, it is taken up by scavenger molecules in macrophages, as a result of which foam cells are formed that have a major role in increasing the subendothelial fat layers of the blood vessels. In the present study the antioxidant effect of eight volatile compounds in plant essences, namely, anethol, eugenol, limonen, linalool, p-cymol, pulegon, thymol, and geraniol, and their effect on the affinities of intact and oxidized (with Cu$^{+2}$) LDL for LDL receptor in sheep adrenal tissue cells in the presence of labeled LDL with fluorescein isothiocynate (FITC) were investigated. The results obtained show that eugenol and thymol have the highest antioxidant effect, on the uptake of LDL (intact and oxidized) by the adrenal cells. The order of the compounds studied with regard to their antioxidant effect on intact and oxidized LDL is as follows:On intact LDL: eugenol ≥ thymol > linalool >p-cymol > limonen > geraniol > anethol; on oxidized LDL: thymol ≥ eugenol > geraniol >p-cymol > linalool > pulegon.Our findings also show that the compounds, particularly thymol and eugenol, have an antioxidant property and can change the affinity of the LDL particles for the LDL receptor probably due to their lipophylic property. Further research may prove that these compounds can be used clinically, especially in atherosclerotic and hypercholesterolemic cases. (Mol Cell Biochem 267: 59–66, 2004) |

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.
