| Abstract | Meal-induced insulin sensitization (MIS) is explained by the HISS (hepatic insulin sensitizing substance) hypothesis. In the presence of two 'feeding signals,' a pulse of insulin results in the release of HISS from the liver. HISS acts selectively on skeletal muscle and doubles the response to insulin. HISS is not released in the fasted state or in the sucrose-supplemented diabetes model. We tested the hypothesis that provision of both feeding signals allows insulin to cause HISS release in both the normal fasted and the diabetic model. The dynamic response to insulin (50 mU/kg over 5 min) was quantified using the rapid insulin sensitivity test (RIST). Gastric injection of a liquid test meal or i.v. administration of N-acetylcysteine in 24 h fasted rats raised hepatic glutathione to a similar degree (by 46%-47%). Hepatic denervation in fed rats eliminated the parasympathetic signal and eliminated MIS, and bethanechol completely restored MIS. Both compounds administered together allowed insulin to stimulate HISS release in 24 h fasted rats and in a diabetic model (9-week, 35% liquid sucrose supplement). Neither was effective alone. Both 'feeding signals' are necessary and sufficient for insulin to stimulate HISS release. |

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.
