| Abstract | Diseases of the human cardiovascular system are the main cause of death in developed countries. Therefore, searching for new risk factors thereof is of particular interest. Upon comparing epidemiological data with data of transcriptome of cardiomyocytes and comparative physiology of vertebrate ontogenesis, we have come to the conclusion that one such factor may be gastroenteritis. This disease includes at once several stimuli able to cause functional and metabolic alterations in the heart: tachycardia, hormonal and ionic misbalance, and outflow of resources from the cardiovascular system. Using the model of rat neonatal gastroenteritis caused by the widespread human and animal enteropathogen Cryptosporidium parvum (Apicomplexa, Sporozoa), we studied the change of expression of α- and β-myosin heavy chains after the developed cryptosporidiosis. Online data obtained by methods of immunocytochemistry, quantitative morphometry, and polymerase chain reaction not only have confirmed our suggestion, but also have shown that moderate 4-day-long cryptosporidiosis is sufficient for producing a significant (1.7- to 4.5-fold) shift in the ratio of myosin isoforms toward the β-isoform beta at the level of mRNA and at the level of protein (2.5–6 times). The reciprocity of the changes, as well as their clear similarity at the level of mRNA and of protein, indicates that the cryptosporidial gastroenteritis involves all the main chains of a complex network of regulation of expression of the myosin heavy chains. A shift of the ratio of myosin isoforms toward the β-isoform that has an ATPase activity several times lower than the α-isoform is the commonly accepted indicator of human heart failure; therefore, the cryptosporidial gastroenteritis can be considered a novel risk factor for decrease of the heart’s contractile ability. Our data may be of interest for clinical and preventive medicine. |

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.
