| Abstract | Fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36) represents a novel flexible regulatory system, influencing rates of mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism in both human and rodent skeletal muscle. During exercise, the subcellular redistribution of FAT/CD36 provides a mechanism to increase not only plasma membrane fatty acid transport, but also mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. This FAT/CD36-mediated coordination of long chain fatty acid (LCFA) transport and oxidation is an intriguing model in the context of insulin resistance. It was believed for almost a decade that reductions in fatty acid oxidation increased intramuscular lipids, thereby contributing to insulin resistance. A reduction in mitochondrial content may reduce the capacity of skeletal muscle LCFA oxidation; however, work from my laboratory has shown that, in some insulin-resistant muscles, mitochondrial content and fatty acid oxidation are both increased, yet these muscles accumulate lipids because of a considerably greater increase in fatty acid transport. Therefore, an alternative model is being considered, in which the balance between LCFA uptake and oxidation is a determining factor in the development of insulin resistance. A permanent redistribution of the LCFA transport protein FAT/CD36 to the sarcolemmal has been consistently found, which results in an increased rate of LCFA transport. This work suggests that the accumulation of skeletal muscle lipids, regardless of changes in mitochondria, is attributable to an increased rate of LCFA transport that exceeds the capacity for oxidation. |

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.
