| Abstract | There is increasing evidence that, in addition to its function as the main neurotransmitter in the nigrostriatal pathway, dopamine (DA) may be neurotoxic in certain conditions. In this study, the toxicity of DA was assessed by direct injection into the substantia nigra of anaesthetised rats, and its effects were compared with those of 6-hydroxydopamine. Brains were removed 1, 2 and 3 weeks after the lesion for histological or neurochemical analysis. DA caused a significant loss of 35% of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons in the pars compacta of substantia nigra and a 40% reduction of striatal DA content. Cells with signs compatible with both apoptosis and autophagy were observed. GADD153, a parameter of endoplasmic reticulum stress, was strongly induced by 6-hydroxydopamine but not by DA. DA increased the α-synuclein content 1 week after the lesion (but not at the later times analyzed) in tyrosine hydroxylase-positive and in non-dopaminergic fibers of pars reticulata. The α-synuclein increase may be a physiological temporal response to DA accumulation and/or to cell damage, but the simultaneous presence of α-synuclein and DA in the cell cytoplasm at concentration higher than normal is not exempt from risk. In fact, their incubation in a free cell system gives a stable dimerized form of α-synuclein that has been described as the critical rate-limiting step for its abnormal fibrillation. |

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.
