| Abstract | Human growth hormone (hGH) can mobilize lipid and inhibit the synthesis of triglycerides. However, it is not a potentially useful drug for treating obesity because it has many other actions resulting in several side effects. Here, we report a novel approach to develop the lipolytic function of hGH. The amino terminus of hGH was replaced by an inactive protein so that the actions unrelated to lipolytic function would be avoided. The fusion genes encoding human serum albumin (HSA) and lipolytic domain of hGH were constructed and expressed in Pichia pastoris. The recombinant proteins were purified and characterized by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The preliminary stability tests demonstrated that HSA-hGH166-191 and HSA-hGH177-191 were stable at different pH levels after four days at 37°C. Lipolytic activity assay revealed that fusion proteins could increase the amounts of glycerol released from the isolated adipocytes. The HSA fusion proteins constructed in this work can be further developed as antiobesity agents. |

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.
