    • Elevated markers of gut leakage and inflammasome activation in COVID-19 patients with cardiac involvement 

      Hoel, Hedda Benedicte; Heggelund, Lars; Reikvam, Dag Henrik; Stiksrud, Birgitte; Ueland, Thor; Michelsen, Annika; Otterdal, Kari; Muller, Karl Erik; Lind, Andreas; Müller, Fredrik; Dudman, Susanne Gjeruldsen; Aukrust, Pål; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Holter, Jan Cato; Trøseid, Marius (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background A high proportion of COVID‐19 patients have cardiac involvement, even those without known cardiac disease. Downregulation of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a receptor for SARS‐CoV‐2 and the renin‐angiotensin ...

    • Hepcidin and Ferritin Predict Microbial Etiology in Community-Acquired Pneumonia 

      Oppen, Kjersti; Ueland, Thor; Siljan, William Ward; Skadberg, Øyvind; Brede, Cato; Lauritzen, Trine; Aukrust, Pål; Steinsvik, Trude; Husebye, Einar; Michelsen, Annika; Holter, Jan Cato; Heggelund, Lars (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background Iron is crucial for survival and growth of microbes. Consequently, limiting iron availability is a human antimicrobial defense mechanism. We explored iron and iron-related proteins as potential biomarkers in ...

    • Inflammation markers in multiple sclerosis: CXCL16 reflects and may also predict disease activity 

      Holmøy, Trygve; Løken-Amsrud, Kristin Ingeleiv; Bakke, Jacob; Beiske, Antonie Giæver; Bjerve, Kristian S; Hovdal, Harald Olav; Lilleås, Finn; Midgard, Rune; Pedersen, Tom; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Torkildsen, Øivind; Wergeland, Stig; Myhr, Kjell-Morten; Michelsen, Annika; Aukrust, Pål; Ueland, Thor (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-09-19)
      Background. Serum markers of inflammation are candidate biomarkers in multiple sclerosis (MS). ω-3 fatty acids are suggested to have anti-inflammatory properties that might be beneficial in MS. We aimed to explore the ...

    • Plasma levels of interleukin 27 in falciparum malaria is increased independently of co-infection with HIV: potential immune-regulatory role during malaria 

      Otterdal, Kari; Berg, Åse; Michelsen, Annika; Patel, Sam; Gregersen, Ida; Sagen, Ellen Lund; Halvorsen, Bente; Yndestad, Arne; Ueland, Thor; Langeland, Nina; Aukrust, Pål (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background The immune response during falciparum malaria mediates both harmful and protective effects on the host; however the participating molecules have not been fully defined. Interleukin (IL)-27 is a pleiotropic ...

    • Rifaximin alters gut microbiota profile, but does not affect systemic inflammation - a randomized controlled trial in common variable immunodeficiency 

      Jørgensen, Silje Fjellgård; Macpherson, Magnhild Eide; Bjørnetrø, Tonje; Holm, Kristian; Kummen, Martin; Rashidi, Azita; Michelsen, Annika; Lekva, Tove; Halvorsen, Bente; Trøseid, Marius; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Berge, Rolf Kristian; Yndestad, Arne; Ueland, Thor; Karlsen, Tom Hemming; Aukrust, Pål; Hov, Johannes Espolin Roksund; Fevang, Børre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-17)
      Common variable immunodefciency (CVID) patients have reduced gut microbial diversity compared to healthy controls. The reduced diversity is associated with gut leakage, increased systemic infammation and ten “key” bacteria ...

    • Soluble markers of neutrophil, T-cell and monocyte activation are associated with disease severity and parasitemia in falciparum malaria 

      Otterdal, Kari; Berg, Åse; Michelsen, Annika; Patel, Sam; Tellevik, Marit Gjerde; Haanshuus, Christel Gill; Fevang, Børre; Aukrust, Pål; Langeland, Nina; Ueland, Thor (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-12-18)
      BACKGROUND: The immune response during P. falciparum infection is a two-edged sword, involving dysregulation of the inflammatory responses with several types of immune cells participating. Here we examined T-cell, ...

    • A study of TNF pathway activation in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in plasma and brain tissue 

      Hoseth, Eva Zsuzsanna; Ueland, Thor; Dieset, Ingrid; Birnbaum, Rebecca; Shin, Joo Heon; Kleinman, Joel Edward; Hyde, Thomas Michael; Mørch, Ragni Helene; Hope, Sigrun; Lekva, Tove; Abraityte, Judita Aurelija; Michelsen, Annika; Melle, Ingrid; Westlye, Lars Tjelta; Ueland, Torill; Djurovic, Srdjan; Aukrust, Pål; Weinberger, Daniel R.; Andreassen, Ole Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07)
      Objective: A proinflammatory imbalance in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) system may contribute to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorders (BDs) and related comorbidities. We investigated the relative ...

    • Vitamin D, vitamin D binding protein, and longitudinal outcomes in COPD
