| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: Dietary restriction (DR) without malnutrition is widely acknowledged to prolong lifespan in laboratory animals. Evidence suggests that DR retards age-related decline in protein turnover of most organs. However, there has been no report about hepatic serum glycoprotein catabolism under DR. In the current study, we evaluate the hepatic uptake of asialoglycoprotein in ICR mice with DR by measuring the plasma clearance of technetium-99m galactosyl human serum albumin (Tc-GSA). METHODS: The amount of food supplied to the restricted mice was 70% of that consumed by the mice fed ad libitum (AL). The regimen was initiated at the age of 7 weeks and terminated after the age of 44 weeks. The plasma clearance of Tc-GSA was measured at the age of 7 weeks, 14 weeks, 28 weeks, and 42 weeks. RESULTS: The restricted animals showed a marked decrease in their body and liver weight, and hepatic uptake of Tc-GSA per liver weight in the restricted mice was greater than that in the mice fed AL. On the other hand, the Tc-GSA plasma clearance in the mice fed AL was stable during the study period, and that in the restricted mice showed no change with age either, and those in the two groups were similar. In addition to the receptor function, there was no difference in the expression of mRNAs of the asialoglycoprotein receptor between the two groups. Serum concentrations of cholinesterase and hepatic mRNAs of glutamine synthetase in the restricted mice were higher than those in the mice fed AL. Serum levels of amino acids in the restricted mice were lower than those in the mice fed AL. CONCLUSIONS: The data presented here show that the DR did not affect the capacity of hepatic serum glycoprotein catabolism, whereas several protein metabolic pathways were affected. |

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.
