| Abstract | In 1929, August Krogh identified the matching of oxygen $(O_{2})$ supply with demand in skeletal muscle as a fundamental physiological process. In the intervening decades, much research has been focused on elucidating the mechanisms by which this important process occurs. For any control system to be effective, there must be a means by which the need is determined and a mechanism by which that information is coupled to an appropriate response. The focus of this review is to highlight current research in support of the hypothesis that the mobile erythrocyte, when exposed to reduced $O_{2}$ tension, releases ATP in a controlled manner. This ATP interacts with purinergic receptors on the endothelium producing both local and conducted vasodilation enabling the erythrocyte to distribute perfusion to precisely match $O_{2}$ delivery with need in skeletal muscle. If this is an important mechanism for normal physiological control of microvascular perfusion, defects in this process would be anticipated to have pathophysiological consequences. Individuals with either type 2 diabetes (DM2) or pre-diabetes have microvascular dysfunction that contributes to morbidity and mortality. DM2 erythrocytes and erythrocytes incubated with insulin at levels similar to those seen in pre-diabetes fail to release ATP in response to reduced $O_{2}$ tension. Knowledge of the components of the signal transduction pathway for low $O_{2}-induced$ ATP release suggest novel therapeutic approaches to ameliorating this defect. Although the erythrocyte may be but one component of the complex $O_{2}$ delivery process, it appears to play an important role in distributing oxygen within the microvasculature. |

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.
