Plasma marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and cardiovascular risk factors: data from the ACE 1950 study
(Springer, 2019-05-23)
Abstract
Purpose
A high intake of marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) might improve cardiovascular (CV) health. We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate associations between plasma phospholipid ...
Circulating microRNAs as predictive biomarkers of myocardial infarction: Evidence from the HUNT study
(Elsevier, 2019-10)
Abstract
Background and aims
Several risk prediction models for coronary heart disease (CHD) are available today, however, they only explain a modest proportion of the incidence. Circulating microRNAs (miRs) have ...
Novel biomarkers of cardiovascular disease: Applications in clinical practice
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-11-20)

Novel serum and bile protein markers predict primary sclerosing cholangitis disease severity and prognosis
(Elsevier, 2017-02-02)
Background & Aims
Prognostic biomarkers are lacking in primary sclerosing cholangitis, hampering patient care and the development of therapy. We aimed to identify novel protein biomarkers of disease severity and prognosis ...
Prevalence of carotid plaque in a 63- to 65-Year-Old Norwegian cohort from the general population: The ACE (Akershus Cardiac Examination) 1950 study
(Wiley, 2018-05-08)
Background
New data on extracranial carotid atherosclerosis are needed, as improved ultrasound techniques may detect more atherosclerosis, the definition of plaque has changed over the years, and better cardiovascular ...
