Disease relevance of ACSM1

• Two medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthetase genes, SAH and MACS1, are associated with plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, but they are not associated with essential hypertension [1].
• Adhesion of mononuclear phagocytes (Macs) to extracellular matrices containing oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL) stimulates these cells to secrete reactive oxygen species (e.g., O2-, H2O2) that are believed to promote atherogenesis [2].
• To enhance the education experience and reduce the health risks for the participants, the ACSM recommends measures to educate coaches and wrestlers toward sound nutrition and weight control behaviors, to curtail "weight cutting," and to enact rules that limit weight loss [3].
• The HR/VO2 relationship and four ACSM recommended methods of exercise prescription were evaluated in 11 individuals with quadriplegia during intermittent progressive peak exercise tests [4].
• The purposes of this symposium are 1) to convey essential information to the members of ACSM who are involved in exercise prescription, patient care, or athletic training; and 2) to disseminate recent scientific theories and research concerning exertional heatstroke [5].

Psychiatry related information on ACSM1

• Statistically significant measurement effects were found for meeting the ACSM/CDC guideline (self-reported), self-efficacy for resisting relapse, knowledge, and on awareness [6].

High impact information on ACSM1

• Is the AHA/ACSM Scientific Statement "Recommendations for Cardiovascular Screening, Staffing, and Emergency Policies at Health/Fitness Facilities" in need of revision? American Heart Association. American College of Sports Medicine [7].
• In both the aortas and the coronary lesions the T cells and mono/macs were often closely associated with one another [8].
• T cells of both T4 and T8 subsets and mono/macs were also demonstrated in areas of eccentric intimal thickening in coronary arteries and in raised coronary lesions [8].
• From SMMC-7721 cell line, CD133(+) cells isolated by MACS manifested high tumorigenecity and clonogenicity as compared with CD133(-) HCC cells [9].
• We conclude that matrix-bound and oxidized lipoproteins stimulate Macs to produce H2O2 continuously and in large quantities via a pathway that involves PAF receptors and PTK and is reversibly blocked by inhibitors of protein prenylation [2].

Chemical compound and disease context of ACSM1

• The IT group outperformed the ST group on all primary outcome measures: (a) minutes of physical activity per week, (b) reaching Centers for Disease Control and American College of Sports Medicine (CDC/ACSM) recommended minimum physical activity criteria, and (c) achieving the Action stage of motivational readiness for physical activity adoption [10].

Biological context of ACSM1

• CONCLUSIONS: SNPs in the MACS1 and SAH genes contribute to plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [1].
• SAH and MACS1 are located within a 150-kb region on human chromosome 16p13.11 [1].
• For running, the Leger equation and ACSM prediction model appear to be the most suitable for the prediction of running energy expenditure [11].
• These data suggest that the Latin equation is more accurate than the ACSM formula for estimating oxygen consumption of loaded cycling in obese women [12].
• We conclude that HIV-1+ men, including those symptomatic for AIDS-related complex, can experience significant increases in neuromuscular strength and cardiorespiratory fitness without changes in lymphocyte phenotypes or clinical diagnosis when the exercise regimen is prescribed and monitored in accordance with ACSM guidelines for healthy adults [13].

Anatomical context of ACSM1

• MATERIALS AND METHODS: Purified B cells and basophils were obtained from normal human volunteers by using a MACS magnetic cell sorting system and anti-CD19 and anti-Fc epsilon R1 antibodies, respectively [14].
• We report here salutary results using a simple density-based depletion method that requires neither MACS (magnetic-activated cell sorting) nor flow cytometric separation for enrichment of progenitor cells [15].
• Regulation of oxidative metabolism and blood flow in skeletal muscle. Summary report of the first ACSM Basic Science Specialty Conference, Indianapolis, IN, September 28-30, 1995 [16].
• When blood from HIV-1-infected patients was used, neither the depletion of unwanted cell lineages by erythrocyte crosslinking (RosetteSep) nor the enrichment of CD4(+) cells by immunomagnetic beads (MACS) individually resulted in sufficient purity [17].
• Importantly, a modest increase over the CDC/ACSM exercise recommendations resulted in significant decreases in visceral, subcutaneous, and total abdominal fat without changes in caloric intake [18].

Associations of ACSM1 with chemical compounds

• Platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonists, lovastatin, and the isoflavone protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitor genistein each reduced H2O2 secretion by Macs maintained on oxLDL-containing matrices by approximately 60% [2].
• Moreover, (2)H incorporation into cellular DNA after administration of (2)H(2)O to HIV-1-infected patients was indistinguishable between CD4(+) T cells isolated by RosetteSep/MACS and FACS [17].
• ACSM Fellow Ken Baldwin and Colleagues Discover a New Antisense Retrograde Mechanism of Gene Regulation [19].

Other interactions of ACSM1

• SNP in exon 8 of the A/G polymorphism of the MACS1 gene and the G/T SNP in intron 3 of the SAH gene were associated with plasma levels of plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [1].
• Ex vivo-derived monocytes could be used in additional studies for analyzing differences in genotype-dependent expression levels of genes involved in fat assimilation such as ACBP, MACS1 or PPARgamma [22].
• This protein bears 56.2% amino acid homology to the MACS1 (medium-chain acyl-CoA synthetase) enzyme, 58.7% homology to the bovine XL-III XM-ligase, and 81.5% homology to the bovine XL-I XM-ligase [23].
