Disease relevance of Ncoa6

  • At equal percentage of the NRC requirement, threonine- and lysine-deficient amino acid mixtures supported equal body weight, dry matter, lipid and ash gains [1].
  • Therefore, increasing or decreasing the calcium content above or below the NAS/NRC recommendation (supplemented to low fat diets) during the promotional phase of colon carcinogenesis altered the tumor incidence, but the effect was confined to the distal colon and to benign adenomatous polyps [2].
  • The results indicated that subsequent to femoral fracture, the nutritional requirement for copper, manganese, and zinc for minimal nitrogen loss were higher than the NRC requirements for the mature male rat [3].
  • In each case (valine, methionine, threonine and histidine), the dietary amino acid concentration required for maximal weight gain exceeded current NRC recommendations, which may be low because they fall in the more time-dependent portion of the response curve whereas maximum responses do not [4].
 

High impact information on Ncoa6

  • Thus, we examined the potential role of ASC-2 in insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells [5].
  • In the pancreas, ASC-2 is expressed only in the endocrine cells of the islets of Langerhans, but not in the exocrine cells [5].
  • Overexpressed ASC-2 increased glucose-elicited insulin secretion, whereas insulin secretion was decreased in islets from ASC-2+/- mice [5].
  • Furthermore, relative to the wild type, ASC-2+/- mice showed reduced islet mass and number, which correlated with increased apoptosis and decreased proliferation of ASC-2+/- islets [5].
  • These findings suggest that the lethality of Rap250(-/-) embryos is the result of obstructed placental blood circulation [6].
 

Biological context of Ncoa6

 

Anatomical context of Ncoa6

  • The results showed that RAP250 mRNA was primarily localized to granulosa cells of healthy follicles in immature, cycling, and pregnant rats and increased during PMSG-induced follicular development [7].
  • 5. Histological examination of placentas revealed a dramatically reduced spongiotrophoblast layer, a collapse of blood vessels in the region bordering the spongiotrophoblast, and labyrinthine layers in placentas from Rap250(-/-) embryos [6].
  • Moreover, the transcriptional activity of PPAR gamma is reduced in fibroblasts derived from Rap250(-/-) embryos, suggesting that RAP250 is an essential coactivator for this nuclear receptor in the placenta [6].
  • Disparities between binding data and functional bioassays of [Aib3] indicated that Phe3 was required for bioactivity in mouse vas deferens but not for interaction with delta opioid receptors in rat brain membranes [11].
  • Because CRBP(II) may play an important role in preventing the toxic effect of unbound retinol in the small intestine, consumption of excess vitamin A in amounts < 10 times the NRC recommended requirement may not cause a disturbance of the absorptive cell function.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[12]
 

Associations of Ncoa6 with chemical compounds

  • Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a commercial rat chow containing twice the amount of vitamin A recommended by the NRC for healthy rats [13].
  • Lysine- and threonine-deficient amino acid mixtures were incorporated into diets for young growing rats to provide 75 or 85% of the NRC requirement of the limiting amino acid in combination with zero or 50% of relative excess of the nonlimiting amino acids [1].
  • Diets containing 1, 10, 100, 175 or 250 times the NRC recommended level of pyridoxine HCl (7 mg/kg) were fed to rats (218 g, 12 per group) to evaluate the effects on tissue B-6 vitamer concentrations [14].
  • Supplemental retinyl acetate feeding at five times the NRC-suggested allowance resulted in a mild, but significantly increased postmortem wound tensile strength after 5 days compared to rats fed the suggested allowance [15].
  • The intake producing the half-maximal liver folacin concentration (1.3 mg folic acid/kg diet) compares well to the 1978 NRC recommendation for the rat [16].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Ncoa6

  • The RT-PCR results confirmed the presence of RAP250 mRNA in the rat ovary and strengthen the data from ISH [7].
  • In order to study its biological role, Rap250 null mice were generated by gene targeting [6].
  • The administration with Asc, Asc2P or Asc2G prevented some features of hepatic I/R injuries such as release of hepatic marker enzymes GOT and GPT into the blood vessel, cellular degenerative symptoms including vacuolation and cell fragmentation, and nuclear DNA strand cleavage as detected by TUNEL staining [17].
  • Coronary perfusion rate and left ventricular isovolemic developed pressure increased after NRC transfusion to 4.6 +/- 1.0 ml/min/g and 127 +/- 32 mmHg from basal values of 2.5 +/- 0.3 ml/min/g and 115 +/- 28 mmHg, respectively [10].
