      Aims/hypothesis Ceramide lipids have a role in the development of insulin resistance, diabetes and risk of cardiovascular disease. Here we investigated four ceramides and their ratios to find the best predictors of incident ...
    • Circulating trimethylamine N-oxide levels do not predict 10-year survival in patients with or without coronary heart disease 

      Bjørnestad, Espen Øglænd; Dhar, Indu; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Pedersen, Eva Kristine Ringdal; Ørn, Stein; Svenningsson, Mads Malm; Tell, Grethe Seppola; Ueland, Per Magne; Sulo, Gerhard; Laaksonen, Reijo; Nygård, Ottar Kjell (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is an amine oxide generated by gut microbial metabolism. TMAO may contribute to atherothrombosis and systemic inflammation. However, the prognostic value of circulating TMAO for ...
    • Fish oil and krill oil differentially modify the liver and brain lipidome when fed to mice

      Background: Marine food is an important source of omega-3 fatty acids with beneficial health effects. Oils from marine organisms have different fatty acid composition and differ in their molecular composition. Fish oil ...
    • Primary cardiovascular risk prediction by LDL-cholesterol in Caucasian middle-aged and older adults: a joint analysis of three cohorts 

      Hilvo, Mika; Dhar, Indu; Lääperi, Mitja; Lysne, Vegard; Sulo, Gerhard; Tell, Grethe S.; Jousilahti, Pekka; Nygård, Ottar Kjell; Brenner, Hermann; Schöttker, Ben; Laaksonen, Reijo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Aims Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is an established causal driver of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), but its performance and age-dependency as a biomarker for incident events and mortality ...
    • Trimethyllysine predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in community-dwelling adults and patients with coronary heart disease 

      Bjørnestad, Espen Øglænd; Dhar, Indu; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Pedersen, Eva Kristine Ringdal; Svenningsson, Mads Malm; Tell, Grethe Seppola; Ueland, Per Magne; Ørn, Stein; Sulo, Gerhard; Laaksonen, Reijo; Nygård, Ottar Kjell (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Aims Trimethyllysine (TML) is involved in carnitine synthesis, serves as a precursor of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and is associated with cardiovascular events in patients with established coronary heart disease (CHD). ...
