Polyamines and polyamine analogues have been demonstrated to modulate the transcription of various genes. Spermidine/spermine N(1)-acetyltransferase (SSAT) is transcriptionally regulated through the interaction of at least two trans-acting transcription factors, NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) and PMF-1 (polyamine modulated factor-1). Nrf-2 has previously been shown to regulate transcription of ...

The thermogenic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma) coactivator 1 (PGC-1) has previously been shown to activate mitochondrial biogenesis in part through a direct interaction with nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF-1). In order to identify related coactivators that act through NRF-1, we searched the databases for sequences with similarities to PGC-1. Here, we describe th...

In mammals, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma coactivator-1 (PGC-1) family members and their binding partners orchestrate remodelling in response to diverse challenges such as diet, temperature and exercise. In this study, we exposed goldfish to three temperatures (4, 20 and 35 degrees C) and to three dietary regimes (food deprivation, low fat and high fat) and examine...

Recent economic improvements in China have allowed the development of perinatal-neonatal care in sub-provincial regions. However, variations in neonatal respiratory and intensive care exist, especially in regions with limited resources. We conducted a series of collaborative clinical investigations into neonatal hypoxemic respiratory failure (NRF). In the study period from 2004 to 2005, this na...

The proliferation resistance of a reprocessing facility can be improved by using a novel detection system that utilizes the nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) phenomenon to determine the isotopic composition of materials flowing through the plant. In an aqueous reprocessing facility, the waste stream was identified as a weak point for proliferation resistance. By identifying the isotopic comp...

Background: Although Americans receive almost a quarter of their daily energy from snacks, snacking remains a poorly defined and understood eating occasion. However, there is little dietary guidance about choosing snacks. Families, clinicians, and researchers need a comprehensive approach to assessing their nutritional value. Objective: To quantify and compare the nutrient density of commonly c...
