The association between insomnia, c-reactive protein, and chronic low back pain: Cross-sectional analysis of the HUNT study, Norway
(Scandinavian Journal of Pain;Volume 19: Issue 4, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-09)Background and aims: Chronic low back pain (chronic LBP) is the number one cause for years lived with disability among 301 diseases and injuries analyzed by The Global Burden of Disease study 2013. Insomnia is highly ... -
Bilberry/red grape juice decreases plasma biomarkers of inflammation and tissue damage in aged men with subjective memory impairment –a randomized clinical trial
(BMC Nutrition;7, Article number: 75 (2021), Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-11-22)Background: Few randomized clinical trials have explored the health effects of bilberries in humans. The aim was to test the effect of bilberry and red grape-juice consumption on visual memory, motor speed and dexterity ... -
Does dietary fat affect inflammatory markers in overweight and obese individuals? - a review of randomized controlled trials from 2010 to 2016
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Obesity, a major cause of death and disability, is increasing worldwide. Obesity is characterized by a chronic, low-grade inflammatory state which is suggested to play a critical role in the development of ... -
The effect of infliximab in patients with chronic low back pain and Modic changes (the BackToBasic study): study protocol of a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial
(BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders;21, Article number: 698 (2020), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-21)Background: Low back pain is common and a significant number of patients experience chronic low back pain. Current treatment options offer small to moderate effects. Patients with vertebral bone marrow lesions visualized ... -
Effects of Exercise on Gene Expression of Inflammatory Markers in Human Peripheral Blood Cells: A Systematic Review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Regular physical activity seems to be one of the most important contributors to prevent disease and promote health. Being physically active reduces the risk of developing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, ... -
Effects of similar intakes of marine n-3 fatty acids from enriched food products and fish oil on cardiovascular risk markers in healthy human subjects
(British Journal of Nutrition;107(09), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)There is convincing evidence that consumption of fish and fish oil rich in long-chain (LC) n-3 PUFA (n-3 LCPUFA), EPA (20 : 5n-3) and DHA (22 : 6n-3) reduce the risk of CHD. The aim of the present study was to investigate ... -
High fat diet exposure during different life stages in mice and consequences for metabolic programming in the liver
(MABIOD;2018, Master thesis, 2018)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in the world, and is the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome. Obesity is closely associated with NAFLD. The concept of fetal ... -
Impact of a healthy dietary pattern on gut microbiota and systemic inflammation in humans
(Nutrients;Volume 10, Issue 11, Journal article; Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-16)Gut microbiota have recently been suggested to play a part in low-grade systemic inflammation, which is considered a key risk factor for cardiometabolic disorders. Diet is known to affect gut microbiota; however, the ... -
An Isocaloric Nordic Diet Modulates RELA and TNFRSF1A Gene Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in Individuals with Metabolic Syndrome—A SYSDIET Sub-Study
(Nutrients;Volume 11, Issue 12, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-03)A healthy dietary pattern is associated with a lower risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and reduced inflammation. To explore this at the molecular level, we investigated the effect of a Nordic diet (ND) on changes in the ... -
Measurements of body fat is associated with markers of inflammation, insulin resistance and lipid levels in both overweight and in lean, healthy subjects
(e - SPEN: the European e-journal of clinical nutrition and metabolism;7(6), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Background & aims: Low-grade inflammation is associated with fat mass in overweight. Whether this association exists in lean persons is unknown. Aims were to investigate associations between anthropometric measures of ... -
Performance management and evaluation in Norwegian local government: Complementary or competing tools of management?
(New directions for evaluation;2013(137), Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2013-03-06)Exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) has been associated with adverse cardiopulmonary effects where inflammation seems to play an important role. Cellular release of inflammatory mediators is therefore commonly ... -
The occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives and the proinflammatory potential of fractionated extracts of diesel exhaust and wood smoke particles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-17)Exposure to combustion emissions, including diesel engine exhaust and wood smoke particles (DEPs and WSPs), has been associated with inflammatory responses. To investigate the possible role of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ... -
Whole blood gene expression in adolescent chronic fatigue syndrome: An exploratory cross-sectional study suggesting altered B cell differentiation and survival
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a prevalent and disabling condition affecting adolescents. The pathophysiology is poorly understood, but immune alterations might be an important component. This study compared ... -
