| Abstract | To investigate whether and on which pathway dietary calcium influence the obesity induced by high-fat diet, thirty male Kunming mice were fed in six groups for 4 weeks and mouse preadipocytes were divided into eight groups for different treatment. Body weight gain was measured each week. Calcium in serum and tissues, intracellular free Ca$^{2+}$ concentration ([Ca$^{2+}$]i), blood fat and intracellular lipid content were also measured. The expression of Lipid metabolism-related genes were measured by q RT-PCR. Compared with control group, body weight gain (P < 0.05) and fat pad weight (P < 0.01) in Low calcium group decreased. Triglycerides (TG) and total Cholesterol (TC) level decreased (P < 0.01), while HDL-Cholesterol (HDL) level increased (P < 0.01). And calcium supply increased calcium content in blood serum and tissues. In tissues, adipogenesis and vitamin D receptor (VDR) genes expression decreased but lipoclasis genes expression increased. These anti-obesity effects were more obvious when supplying with 2.8% calcium, but the effects were reduced while supplying Nifedipine at the same time. The results in preadipocytes indicated that calcium-treated can reduce intracellular lipid content, along with adipogenesis and lipoclasis genes expression decrease, promoted the expression levels of p38 MAPK pathway upstream gene MKK6 (P < 0.01) and downstream gene MAPKAPK2 (P < 0.01). Treated with SB203580 could increase adipogenesis genes expression, decrease lipoclasis genes expression and ([Ca$^{2+}$]i) (P < 0.01). These results implied that dietary calcium had remarkable effect on anti-obesity effect and p38 MAPK pathway potentially participated in calcium-mediated lipid accumulation and lipolysis in mouse preadipocytes. |

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.
