Protein homeostasis in LGMDR9 (LGMD2I) – The role of ubiquitin‐proteasome and autophagy‐lysosomal system
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-18)Aims: Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy R9 (LGMDR9) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the fukutin-related protein gene (FKRP), encoding a glycosyltransferase involved in α-dystroglycan modification. Muscle atrophy, a significant feature of LGMDR9, occurs by a change in the normal balance between protein synthesis and protein degradation. The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) ... -
Combining education and income into a socioeconomic position score for use in studies of health inequalities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-13)Background: In studies of social inequalities in health, there is no consensus on the best measure of socioeconomic position (SEP). Moreover, subjective indicators are increasingly used to measure SEP. The aim of this paper was to develop a composite score for SEP based on weighted combinations of education and income in estimating subjective SEP, and examine how this score performs in predicting ... -

The use of iohexol as a marker to measure glomerular filtration rate in the non-steady state of patients undergoing robot-assisted colorectal surgery
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-23)Introduction Perioperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is routinely used to monitor renal function. This is an imprecise tool in the non-steady state condition and much kidney function can be lost before it is detectable by the eGFR method. A continuous low-dose infusion of iohexol has been proposed as ... -
Hvor nyttige er nye legemiddelbehandlinger egentlig?
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-21)Introduksjon: Legemidler blir ofte presentert i media som supermedisiner og gir inntrykket av at helseeffekten er enorm. Hvorvidt fremstillingen i media speiler virkeligheten er uklart. Statens legemiddelverk (SLV) metodevurderer legemidler for å undersøke om de er bedre enn nåværende behandling. Metodevurderingene inneholder ofte informasjon om QALY-gevinst. Hensikt: Primærmålet er å undersøke ... -

Vitamin D: Relations with Sleep and Bone Mineral Density. Insights from the Tromsø Study and randomized controlled trials
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-06-10)In this thesis, the relationship between vitamin D and health-related outcomes has been investigated. More than 21,000 individuals participated in the Tromsø Study 2015-16. The participants donated blood samples and filled in questionnaires regarding their health status, including questions about their sleep health. Using these data, the association between vitamin D and sleep duration, daytime ... -

Plasma profile of microRNA after supplementation with high doses of vitamin D3 for 12 months
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-05-17)Background: Recently a large number of short non-coding-RNAs (microRNAs, (miRNA)) have been identified. These miRNAs act as post-transcriptional regulators where they generally have an inhibitory function. miRNAs are present in all human cells, and they are also detected in serum or plasma. The miRNAs have a broad range of actions, and their biogenesis must therefore be under tight control. One ... -

Substrate binding and translocation of the serotonin transporter studied by docking and molecular dynamics simulations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-06-14)The serotonin (5-HT) transporter (SERT) plays an important role in the termination of 5-HT-mediated neurotransmission by transporting 5-HT away from the synaptic cleft and into the presynaptic neuron. In addition, SERT is the main target for antidepressant drugs, including the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). The three-dimensional (3D) structure of SERT has not yet been determined, ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-23)Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are increasingly prescribed as medication for various afective disorders during pregnancy. SSRIs cross the placenta and afect serotonergic neurotransmission in the fetus, but the neurobehavioral consequences for the ofspring remain largely unclear. Recent rodent research has linked perinatal SSRI exposure to alterations in both social and non-social ... -
