    • Increased Plasma Levels of Triglyceride-Enriched Lipoproteins Associate with Systemic Inflammation, Lipopolysaccharides, and Gut Dysbiosis in Common Variable Immunodeficiency 

      Macpherson, Magnhild Eide; Skarpengland, Tonje; Hov, Johannes Espolin Roksund; Ranheim, Trine; Vestad, Beate; Dahl, Tuva Børresdatter; Fraz, Mai Sasaki Aanensen; Michelsen, Annika Elisabet; Holven, Kirsten Bjørklund; Fevang, Børre; Berge, Rolf Kristian; Aukrust, Pål; Halvorsen, Bente; Jørgensen, Silje Fjellgård (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Purpose: Triglycerides (TG) and their major transport lipoprotein in the circulation (VLDL) appear to be related to inflammation. Patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) have inflammatory complications ...
    • Low fibre intake is associated with gut microbiota alterations in chronic heart failure 

      Mayerhofer, Cristiane C.K.; Kummen, Martin; Holm, Kristian; Broch, Kaspar; Awoyemi, Ayodeji Olawale; Vestad, Beate; Larsen, Christopher Storm; Seljeflot, Ingebjørg; Ueland, Thor; Bohov, Pavol; Berge, Rolf Kristian; Svardal, Asbjørn M.; Gullestad, Lars; Yndestad, Arne; Aukrust, Pål; Hov, Johannes Espolin Roksund; Trøseid, Marius (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Aims Recent reports have suggested that patients with heart failure (HF) have an altered gut microbiota composition; however, associations with diet remain largely uninvestigated. We aimed to explore differences in the ...
    • Rosuvastatin alters the genetic composition of the human gut microbiome 

      Kummen, Martin; Solberg, Ole Geir; Larsen, Christopher Storm; Holm, Kristian; Ragnarsson, Asgrimur; Trøseid, Marius; Vestad, Beate; Skårdal, Rita; Yndestad, Arne; Ueland, Thor; Svardal, Asbjørn M.; Berge, Rolf Kristian; Seljeflot, Ingebjørg; Gullestad, Lars; Karlsen, Tom Hemming; Aaberge, Lars; Aukrust, Pål; Hov, Johannes Espolin Roksund (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The gut microbiome contributes to the variation of blood lipid levels, and secondary bile acids are associated with the effect of statins. Yet, our knowledge of how statins, one of our most common drug groups, affect the ...
