Plant traits and vegetation data from climate warming experiments along an 1100 m elevation gradient in Gongga Mountains, China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Functional trait data enhance climate change research by linking climate change, biodiversity response, and ecosystem functioning, and by enabling comparison between systems sharing few taxa. Across four sites along a ... -
Plant-pollinator interactions in the alpine: Landscape heterogeneity acts as a potential buffer against climate-change induced mismatch in the pollinator-generalist Ranunculus acris
(Master thesis, 2018-06-19)Phenology changes are a common response to global warming and the timing of phenological events is important for symbiotic interactions, such as pollination. If symbiotic species respond differently to global warming, this ... -

Plasma 25 hydroxyvitamin D level and blood gene expression profiles: a cross-sectional study of the Norwegian Women and Cancer Post-genome Cohort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background/Objectives: Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased risk of developing several diseases, but much is unknown about the molecular effects involved. Gene expression technology is increasingly being ... -
Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D and mortality in patients with suspected stable angina pectoris
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03)Context and Objective: Vitamin D status may affect cardiovascular disease (CVD) development and survival. We studied the relationship between concentrations of the circulating biomarker 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and ... -
Plasma 3-hydroxyisobutyrate (3-HIB) and methylmalonic acid (MMA) are markers of hepatic mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in male Wistar rats
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objective: Discovery of specific markers that reflect altered hepatic fatty acid oxidation could help to detect an individual's risk of fatty liver, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease at an early stage. Lipid and ... -
Plasma Biomarkers of Inflammation, the Kynurenine Pathway, and Risks of All-Cause, Cancer, and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality. The Hordaland Health Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)We aimed to evaluate 10 biomarkers related to inflammation and the kynurenine pathway, including neopterin, kynurenine:tryptophan ratio, C-reactive protein, tryptophan, and 6 kynurenines, as potential predictors of all-cause ... -
Plasma Cholesterol- and Body Fat-Lowering Effects of Chicken Protein Hydrolysate and Oil in High-Fat Fed Male Wistar Rats
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Rest raw materials provide a new source of bioactive dietary ingredients, and this study aimed to determine the health effects of diets with chicken protein hydrolysate (CPH) and chicken oil (CO) generated from deboned ... -
Plasma concentrations and dietary intakes of choline and betaine in association with atrial fibrillation risk: Results from 3 prospective cohorts with different health profiles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Background: Although choline metabolism has been associated with atherosclerotic heart disease, less research attention has been paid to the associations of choline and its oxidative metabolite betaine with cardiac ... -
Plasma Concentrations of Extracellular DNA in Acute Kidney Injury
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Current diagnostic methods of acute kidney injury (AKI) have limited sensitivity and specificity. Tissue injury has been linked to an increase in the concentrations of extracellular DNA (ecDNA) in plasma. A rapid turnover ... -
Plasma cortisol linked gene networks in hepatic and adipose tissues implicate corticosteroid binding globulin in modulating tissue glucocorticoid action and cardiovascular risk
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Genome-wide association meta-analysis (GWAMA) by the Cortisol Network (CORNET) consortium identified genetic variants spanning the SERPINA6/SERPINA1 locus on chromosome 14 associated with morning plasma cortisol, cardiovascular ... -
Plasma cotinine is positively associated with homocysteine in smokers but not in users of smokeless tobacco
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) is a risk marker, and smoking is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It is unclear if the effect of smoked tobacco on homocysteine is mediated by nicotine or other ... -
Plasma cystathionine and risk of incident stroke in patients with suspected stable angina pectoris
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Background: Cystathionine is an intermediate product in the transsulfuration pathway and formed during the B6‐dependent conversion of methionine to cysteine. Elevated plasma cystathionine has been related to atherosclerosis, ... -
Plasma density gradients at the edge of polar ionospheric holes: the absence of phase scintillation
