| Abstract | The effects of phalloidin and cytochalasin D, drugs which, respectively, stabilize and destabilize actin microfilaments, have been tested on isolated rat hepatocytes. Both drugs produced a modification of cell shape, characterized by protrusions bulging from the cytoplasm. In phalloidin-treated hepatocytes, an accumulation of actin microfilamentous network was detectable at the base of each protrusion by electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, and HMM decoration. This accumulation of microfilaments was absent in cytochalasin D-treated cells. The release of triglycerides, an index of very low density lipoprotein secretion, was inhibited by phalloidin or cytochalasin D, and accompanied by an increase in cellular triglycerides. At the electron microscope examination, triglyceride accumulation was represented by fat droplets and vesicle-enclosed, very low density lipoprotein-like particles. Total protein and albumin secretion was only very slightly modified by either one of these drugs. With the use of various phalloidin analogs, a correlation was observed between their respective ability to stabilize F-actin in vitro, and their effects on cell shape and triglyceride secretion. In conclusion, phalloidin, and cytochalasin D: (a) modify the shape of isolated hepatocytes; (b) inhibit lipoprotein secretion. These effects possibly result from a modification of actin microfilament function. |

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.
