(Master thesis, 2014-10-29)Background: Ankylosing spondylitis is a rheumatic disease mainly affecting the axial joints, causing back pain and functional limitations. Physiotherapy is recommended, but there are no clear guidelines for what type of ... -
MAP kinase phosphatase MKP-1 regulates p-ERK1/2 signaling pathway with fluoride treatment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Dental fluorosis is characterized by hypomineralization of tooth enamel caused by ingestion of excessive fluoride during enamel formation. Excess fluoride could have effects on the ERK signaling, which is essential for the ... -
A map of metabolic phenotypes in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating disease usually presenting after infection. Emerging evidence supports that energy metabolism is affected in ME/CFS, but a unifying metabolic ... -

(Doctoral thesis, 2019-06-28)Background: Kenya is a country in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) with an HIV prevalence in the adult population is around 5%, which is considered to be a generalized HIV epidemic. The generalized nature of the epidemic makes it ... -
Mapping Proteome Changes in Microsatellite Stable, Recurrent Colon Cancer Reveals a Significant Immune System Signature
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background/Aim: Better stratification of the risk of relapse will help select the right patients for adjuvant treatment and improve targeted therapies for patients with colon cancer. Materials and Methods: To understand ... -
Mapping the expression of an ANK3 isoform associated with bipolar disorder in the human brain
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The gene ankyrin-3 (ANK3) has been consistently associated with bipolar disorder (BD) in several genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The exact molecular mechanisms underlying this genetic association remain unknown. ... -
Mapping the human genetic architecture of COVID-19
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The genetic make-up of an individual contributes to the susceptibility and response to viral infection. Although environmental, clinical and social factors have a role in the chance of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and the severity ... -
Marine Benthic Cyanobacteria Contain Apoptosis-Inducing Activity Synergizing with Daunorubicin to Kill Leukemia Cells, but not Cardiomyocytes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-10-14)The potential of marine benthic cyanobacteria as a source of anticancer drug candidates was assessed in a screen for induction of cell death (apoptosis) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Of the 41 marine cyanobacterial ... -
Marine ω-3, vitamin D levels, disease outcome and periodontal status in rheumatoid arthritis outpatients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-11)Objectives: Marine ω-3 fatty acids (FAs) and Vitamin D (VitD) are reportedly capable of down-regulating inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontal disease. This study was undertaken to relate marine FA and ... -
Markedsføring av naturmidler- en vurdering
(Master thesis, 2008-06-02)Hensikten med oppgaven var å undersøke og sammenligne markedsføringen av naturmidler i kommunikasjonskanalene apotek, helsekostforretninger, Internett, ukeblad og magasiner. I løpet av ti uker ble det samlet inn annonser, ... -
Markers of disease activity in COPD: an 8-year mortality study in the ECLIPSE cohort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Rationale There are no validated measures of disease activity in COPD. Since “active” disease is expected to have worse outcomes (e.g. mortality), we explored potential markers of disease activity in patients enrolled in ... -
Markers of nephropathy in young Fabry disease patients; role of kidney biopsies and functional measurements
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-04-05)Backgound: Fabry disease is an X-linked disease affecting glycosphingolipid metabolism due to deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase. The natural course of the disease is related to progressive accumulation of ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Aortic valve sclerosis (AVS), mitral valve sclerosis (MVS), remodeling of major arteries, and increased pericardial fat are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis. We assessed these markers of atherosclerosis ... -
Markers of vitamin B6 status and metabolism as predictors of incident cancer: The Hordaland Health Study.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11-26)Dietary intake and/or circulating concentrations of vitamin B6 have been associated with risk of cancer, but results are inconsistent and mechanisms uncertain. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is the most commonly used marker ... -
