| Abstract | We studied the localization, sub-cellular distribution and daily rhythms of a 37 kDa melatonin receptor (Mel(1a)R) in the ovary to assess its temporal relationship with the serum melatonin levels in four different reproductive phases in carp Catla catla. Our immunocytochemical study accompanied by Western blot analysis of Mel(1a)R in the ovary revealed that the expression of this 37-kDa protein was greater in the membrane fraction than in the cytosol. Ovarian Mel(1a)R protein peaked at midnight and fell at midday in each reproductive phase. Conversely, serum melatonin levels in the same fish demonstrated a minimum diurnal value at midday in all seasons, but a peak at midnight (during pre-spawning, spawning, and post-spawning phases) or at late dark phase (during preparatory phase). In an annual cycle, band intensity of Mel(1a)R protein showed a maximum at night in the spawning phase and a minimum in the post-spawning phase, demonstrating an inverse relationship with the levels of serum melatonin. Our data provide first evidence of the presence of Mel(1a) melatonin receptor in carp ovary and offer interesting perspectives especially for the study of the mechanisms of the control of its rhythmicity and its response to external factors. |

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.
