25-hydroxy-vitamin D concentration is not affected by severe or non-severe pneumonia, or inflammation, in young children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01-17)Poor vitamin D status has been associated with increased risk and severity of respiratory tract infections. Whether or not inflammation and infection affects 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration is controversial ... -
Infrared (810-nm) low-level laser therapy on rat experimental knee inflammation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-04-12)Arthritis of the knee is the most common type of joint inflammatory disorder and it is associated with pain and inflammation of the joint capsule. Few studies address the effects of the 810-nm laser in such conditions. ... -
Interferon (IFN)-γ-mediated inflammation and the kynurenine pathway in relation to bone mineral density: the Hordaland Health Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-24)The risk of osteoporosis increases in inflammatory disorders. In cell-mediated immune activation, interferon (IFN)-γ stimulates macrophage release of neopterin and increases the activity of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase ... -
Interferon gamma (IFN-γ)-mediated inflammation and the kynurenine pathway in relation to risk of hip fractures: The Hordaland Health Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-10)Summary The cytokine interferon gamma (IFN-γ) stimulates neopterin release and tryptophan degradation into kynurenines through the kynurenine pathway. High levels of neopterin were associated with increased hip fracture ... -
Interferon-γ–induced inflammatory markers and the risk of cancer: The Hordaland Health Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-06-19)Background It has been reported that interferon-γ (IFN-γ)–induced inflammatory markers, such as circulating neopterin and kynurenine-to-tryptophan ratio (KTR), are increased in patients with cancer and are also a predictor ... -
Markers of vitamin B6 status and metabolism as predictors of incident cancer: The Hordaland Health Study.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11-26)Dietary intake and/or circulating concentrations of vitamin B6 have been associated with risk of cancer, but results are inconsistent and mechanisms uncertain. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is the most commonly used marker ... -
Neopterin as an effect modifier of the cardiovascular risk predicted by total homocysteine: A prospective 2-cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)Background: Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) is related to plasma neopterin, an indicator of interferon‐γ‐mediated immune activation, and both biomarkers positively predict cardiovascular risk. We examined whether the ... -
The PAr index, an indicator reflecting altered vitamin B-6 homeostasis, is associated with long-term risk of stroke in the general population: the Hordaland Health Study (HUSK)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01)Background: Vitamin B-6 homeostasis is altered during inflammation and immune activation. It is unknown whether altered vitamin B-6 homeostasis is associated with the risk of stroke. Objective: We investigated the relation ...
