G Protein-Gated Inwardly Rectifying Potassium Channel Subunit 3 Is Upregulated in Rat DRGs and Spinal Cord After Peripheral Nerve Injury
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: G protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels are involved in the regulation of neuronal excitability. Four GIRK subunits (GIRK1-4) are expressed in rat dorsal root ganglia (DRGs). Recently, we ... -
G1m1 predominance of intrathecal virus-specific antibodies in multiple sclerosis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09-17)We have previously shown that plasmablasts of the G1m1 allotype of IgG1 are selectively enriched in the cerebrospinal fluid of G1m1/G1m3 heterozygous patients with multiple sclerosis, whereas both allotypes are equally ... -
GADL1 is a multifunctional decarboxylase with tissue-specific roles in β-alanine and carnosine production
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Carnosine and related β-alanine–containing peptides are believed to be important antioxidants, pH buffers, and neuromodulators. However, their biosynthetic routes and therapeutic potential are still being debated. This ... -

(Master thesis, 2016-05-13)Background: Approximately 70 000 people in Norway are suffering from some form of dementia. Gait and balance impairment in patients with Alzheimer's disease has been recognized for years. Reduced walking speed has been ... -
Gamified virtual reality exposure therapy for adolescents with public speaking anxiety: a four-armed randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objective: Public Speaking Anxiety is highly prevalent among adolescents. However, few interventions have been developed specifically for this group. This four-armed randomized trial addressed the following research questions ... -
Gamma Knife Radiosurgery does not alter the copy number aberration profile in sporadic vestibular schwannoma
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Introduction: Ionizing radiation is a known etiologic factor in tumorigenesis and its role in inducing malignancy in the treatment of vestibular schwannoma has been debated. The purpose of this study was to identify a copy ... -
Gamma knife surgery as monotherapy with clinically relevant doses prolongs survival in a Human GBM Xenograft Model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Object. Gamma knife surgery (GKS) may be used for recurring glioblastomas (GBMs). However, patients have then usually undergone multimodal treatment, which makes it difficult to specifically validate GKS independent of ... -
GAP43-dependent mitochondria transfer from astrocytes enhances glioblastoma tumorigenicity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The transfer of intact mitochondria between heterogeneous cell types has been confirmed in various settings, including cancer. However, the functional implications of mitochondria transfer on tumor biology are poorly ... -
Garbage codes in the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry 1996-2019
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Reliable statistics on the underlying cause of death are essential for monitoring the health in a population. When there is insufficient information to identify the true underlying cause of death, the death ... -

Gastric dysmotility and visceral hypersensitivity – an ultrasound approach to functional GI disorders and diabetic gastroparesis
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-09-24)Background: Functional dyspepsia (FD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and diabetic gastroparesis (DG) are conditions with overlapping symptoms and motility characteristics. The objective of this dissertation was to investigate ... -
Gastric emptying of low- and high-caloric liquid meals measured using ultrasonography in healthy volunteers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-07)Purpose Delayed gastric emptying is present in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD), diabetes mellitus, and neurological diseases. Diet may affect gastric emptying symptoms in patients with FD. We sought to determine ... -
