| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine whether decreased oxidative stress would increase the resistance to cardiac contracture induced by $H_{2}O_{2}$ in hypothyroid rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: control and hypothyroid. Hypothyroidism was induced via thyroidectomy. Four weeks post surgery, blood samples were collected to perform thyroid hormone assessments, and excised hearts were perfused at a constant flow with or without $H_{2}O_{2}$ (1 mmol/L), being divided into two sub-groups: control, hypothyroid, $control + H_{2}O_{2},$ $hypothyroid + H_{2}O_{2}.$ Lipid peroxidation (LPO) was evaluated by chemiluminescence (CL) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) methods, and protein oxidation by carbonyls assay in heart homogenates. Cardiac tissue was also screened for superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities, and for total radical-trapping antioxidant potential (TRAP). Analyses of SOD and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) protein expression were also performed in heart homogenates. Hypothyroid hearts were found to be more resistant to $H_{2}O_{2}-induced$ contracture (60% elevation in LVEDP) as compared to control. CL, TBARS, carbonyl, as well as SOD, CAT, GPx activities and TRAP levels were reduced (35, 30, 40, 30, 16, 25, and 33%, respectively) in the cardiac homogenates of the hypothyroid group as compared to controls. A decrease in SOD and GST protein levels by 20 and 16%, respectively, was also observed in the hypothyroid group. These results suggest that a hypometabolic state caused by thyroid hormone deficiency can lead to an improved response to $H_{2}O_{2}$ challenge and is associated with decreased oxidative myocardial damage.

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.
