The link between wound healing and escape from tumor dormancy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Tumor dormancy is considered one of the major unsolved questions in cancer biology. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for maintaining and interrupting dormancy would be a major step towards preventing overt metastatic ... -
Linking a European cohort of children born with congenital anomalies to vital statistics and mortality records: A EUROlinkCAT study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)EUROCAT is a European network of population-based congenital anomaly (CA) registries. Twenty-one registries agreed to participate in the EUROlinkCAT study to determine if reliable information on the survival of children ... -
Lipid effects during antipsychotic drug treatment and their relevance for clinical outcomes
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-01-29)Schizophrenia is a devastating mental disorder with disease mechanisms that are still poorly understood. Evidence has emerged that lipid dysregulations and myelination abnormalities might contribute to the pathophysiology ... -
Lipid levels after childbirth and association with number of children: A population-based cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-10-24)Objective Low parity women are at increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. Unfavourable lipid profiles have been found in one-child mothers years before they conceive. However, it remains unclear whether unfavourable ... -
Lipid parameters and vitamin A modify cardiovascular risk prediction by plasma neopterin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objectives Oxidised cholesterol metabolites are linked to increased production of the active vitamin A (Vit-A) form and monocyte/macrophage activation, which may be reflected by neopterin, a marker of both interferon-γ–mediated ... -
Lipid, fatty acid, carnitine- and choline derivative profiles in rheumatoid arthritis outpatients with different degrees of periodontal inflammation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis are chronic inflammatory diseases with several pathogenic pathways in common. Evidence supports an association between the diseases, but the exact underlying mechanisms behind ... -
Lipid-Lowering Effects of Tetradecylthioacetic Acid in Antipsychotic-Exposed, Female Rats: Challenges with Long-Term Treatment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11-30)Background: Psychiatric patients often require chronic treatment with antipsychotic drugs, and while rats are frequently used to study antipsychotic-induced metabolic adverse effects, long-term exposure has only partially ... -
