      Horn, Cathrine; Laupsa-Borge, Johnny; Andersen, Amanda; Dyer, Laurence; Revheim, Ingrid; Leikanger, Trine; Næsheim, Nicole Tandrevold; Storås, Inghild; Johannessen, Kristine Kjerpeseth; Mellgren, Gunnar; Dierkes, Jutta; Dankel, Simon N (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      It is widely assumed that people with obesity have several common eating patterns, including breakfast-skipping (1), eating during the night (2) and high fast-food consumption (3). However, differences in individual meal ...
    • Metabolic role of the hepatic valine/3-hydroxyisobutyrate (3-HIB) pathway in fatty liver disease 

      Bjune, Mona Synnøve; Dyer, Laurence; Laupsa-Borge, Johnny; Sommersten, Cathrine Horn; McCann, Adrian; Glastad, Robert Clay; Johnston, Iain; Kern, Matthias; Blüher, Matthias; Mellgren, Gunnar; Dankel, Simon N (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Background: The valine (branched-chain amino acid) metabolite 3-hydroxyisobutyrate (3-HIB), produced by 3-Hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA Hydrolase (HIBCH), is associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, but implicated ...

      Elucidation of mechanisms that govern lipid storage, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance may lead to improved therapeutic options for type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related diseases. Here, we find that adipose ...
    • Subtype-specific surface proteins on adipose tissue macrophages and their association to obesity-induced insulin resistance 

      Strand, Kristina; Stiglund, Natalie; Haugstøyl, Martha Eimstad; Kamyab, Seyedeh Zahra; Langhelle, Victoria Puntervold; Dyer, Laurence; Busch, Christian; Cornillet, Martin; Hjellestad, Iren Drange; Nielsen, Hans Jørgen; Njølstad, Pål Rasmus; Mellgren, Gunnar; Björkström, Niklas K.; Fernø, Johan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      A chronic low-grade inflammation, originating in the adipose tissue, is considered a driver of obesity-associated insulin resistance. Macrophage composition in white adipose tissue is believed to contribute to the pathogenesis ...
