The Association between Progression of Atherosclerosis and the Methylated Amino Acids Asymmetric Dimethylarginine and Trimethyllysine
Løland, Kjetil Halvorsen; Bleie, Øyvind; Borgeraas, Heidi; Strand, Elin; Ueland, Per Magne; Svardal, Asbjørn; Nordrehaug, Jan Erik; Nygård, Ottar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-05-29)Objective: We previously showed that treatment with folic acid (FA)/B12 was associated with more rapid progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). High doses of FA may induce methylation by increasing the availability ... -
A fish protein hydrolysate alters fatty acid composition in liver and adipose tissue and increases plasma carnitine levels in a mouse model of chronic inflammation
Bjørndal, Bodil; Berge, Christ; Ramsvik, Marie Sannes; Svardal, Asbjørn; Bohov, Pavol; Skorve, Jon; Berge, Rolf Kristian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-10-07)Background: There is growing evidence that fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) diets affect mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism in animals. The aim of the study was to determine if FPH could influence fatty acid metabolism and ... -
Krill oil reduces plasma triacylglycerol level and improves related lipoprotein particle concentration, fatty acid composition and redox status in healthy young adults - a pilot study
Berge, Rolf Kristian; Ramsvik, Marie Sannes; Bohov, Pavol; Svardal, Asbjørn; Nordrehaug, Jan Erik; Rostrup, Espen; Bruheim, Inge; Bjørndal, Bodil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12-15)Background: Lipid abnormalities, enhanced inflammation and oxidative stress seem to represent a vicious circle in atherogenesis, and therapeutic options directed against these processes seems like a reasonable approach in ... -
Phospholipids from herring roe improve plasma lipids and glucose tolerance in healthy, young adults
Bjørndal, Bodil; Strand, Elin; Gjerde, Jennifer; Bohov, Pavol; Svardal, Asbjørn; Diehl, Bernd W. K.; Innis, Sheila M.; Berger, Alvin; Berge, Rolf Kristian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-17)Background: Herring roe is an underutilized source of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) for human consumption with high phospholipid (PL) content. Studies have shown that PL may improve bioavailability of n-3 PUFAs. ... -
Tetradecylthioacetic Acid Increases Hepatic Mitochondrial b-Oxidation and Alters Fatty Acid Composition in a Mouse Model of Chronic Inflammation
Burri, Lena; Bjørndal, Bodil; Wergedahl, Hege; Berge, Kjetil; Bohov, Pavol; Svardal, Asbjørn; Berge, Rolf Kristian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-04-09)The administration of tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA), a hypolipidemic and anti-inflammatory modified bioactive fatty acid, has in several experiments based on high fat diets been shown to improve lipid transport and ... -
Tetradecylthiopropionic acid induces hepatic mitochondrial dysfunction and steatosis, accompanied by increased plasma homocysteine in mice
Berge, Rolf Kristian; Bjørndal, Bodil; Strand, Elin; Bohov, Pavol; Lindquist, Carine; Nordrehaug, Jan Erik; Svardal, Asbjørn; Skorve, Jon; Nygård, Ottar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02-05)Background: Hepatic mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methyl donor supplementation has been shown to alleviate NAFLD, connecting the condition ...
