In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Question: Context: Burns cause thermal injury to local tissue and trigger systemic acute inflammatory processes, which may lead to multiple distant organ dysfunction. We investigated the protective effect of dietary whey supplementation on distant organs in a rat model.', 'Forty-eight rats were divided into six groups of eight: groups 1 and 2 were the controls, fed a standard diet and a whey-supplemented diet, respectively; groups 3 and 4 were fed a standard diet and subjected to burn injury; and groups 5 and 6 were fed a whey-supplemented diet and subjected to burn injury. We measured the oxidative stress variables, as well as glutathione in the liver and kidney, and histologically examined skin samples obtained 4 h (groups 3 and 5) and 72 h (groups 4 and 6) after burn injury.', 'Glutathione (GSH) levels remained the same in the liver but were slightly elevated in the kidneys after burn injury in the rats fed a standard diet. Whey supplementation caused a significant increase in hepatic GSH levels 4 h after burn injury. Moreover, there was a significant rebound effect in the liver and kidney GSH levels after 72 h and whey supplementation potentiated this effect. Hepatic and renal lipid peroxide levels were also increased 4 h after burn injury in the rats fed a standard diet. Whey supplementation significantly suppressed the burn-induced increase in hepatic and renal lipid peroxide levels. Histological examination revealed that although whey supplementation resulted in decreased subepidermal inflammation, the indicators of wound healing and collagen deposition were not improved.\Question: Does whey feeding suppress the measurement of oxidative stress in experimental burn injury?

Answer: Whey pretreatment suppressed hepatic and renal oxidative stress measurements after experimental burn injury.

Question: Context: To describe a novel form of pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH) and map its genetic locus.', 'PCH is a heterogeneous group of disorders that are characterized by abnormally small cerebellum and brainstem. Autosomal recessive inheritance has been implied in many cases, but no genetic loci have been mapped to date.', 'The authors studied a consanguineous family from the Sultanate of Oman with three siblings with a novel form of PCH. The authors performed clinical studies and linkage analysis of this pedigree.', 'The clinical features of the affected children include developmental delay, progressive microcephaly with brachycephaly, seizures during the first year of life, hypotonia with hyperreflexia, short stature, and optic atrophy. Imaging studies showed a small pons and cerebellum, prominent sulci and lateral ventricles, and decreased cerebral white matter volume. A lack of dyskinesias distinguishes this pedigree from PCH type 2. Genetic studies of this family revealed evidence of significant linkage to chromosome 7q11-21 (maximum multipoint lod score 3.23).\Question: Does a novel form of pontocerebellar hypoplasia map to chromosome 7q11-21?

Answer: This pedigree represents a novel form of autosomal recessive PCH, which the authors propose to call cerebellar atrophy with progressive microcephaly (CLAM). This disorder maps to chromosome 7q11-21, and this locus was named CLAM. This report represents the first identification of a genetic locus for PCH.

Question: Context: Pineal function has been considered particularly as a neuroendocrine modulator in hormone responsive tumors, like the hormone-dependent mammary tumors. The complexity of the gland function, moreover, is denoted by the presence of a local renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) that regulates melatonin biosynthesis. Classically, angiotensin II (Ang II) has been considered as the effector peptide of the RAS, but Ang II is not the only active peptide. Several of its degradation products, including angiotensin III (Ang III) and angiotensin IV (Ang IV) also possess biological functions. These peptides are formed via the activity of several aminopeptidases. Our aim is to know their role in the regulation of pineal RAS and breast cancer.', 'Aminopeptidase N (APN), aminopeptidase B (APB) and aminopeptidase A (aspartyl- and glutamyl-aminopeptidase, APA) activities are measured in the pineal gland of rats with breast cancer induced by N-methyl nitrosourea (NMU).', 'Aminopeptidase activities were measured fluorimetrically using their corresponding aminoacyl-beta-naphthylamides as substrates.', 'Specific APN and APB activities in pineal gland of controls and NMU-treated rats were not modified. Aspartyl aminopeptidase activity significantly decreased in NMU-treated rats when compared with control group. On the contrary, glutamyl aminopeptidase activity did not show significant differences between groups.\Question: Are renin-angiotensin system-regulating aminopeptidase activities modified in the pineal gland of rats with breast cancer induced by N-methyl-nitrosourea?

Answer:
We propose that the local RAS in pineal gland is modified in rats with breast cancer induced by NMU through the inhibition of AspAP activity, which may lead to increased levels of Ang II. Ang II could be responsible of the overproduction of melatonin, supporting a mechanism to restrain the promotion and/or progression of breast cancer.
