    • Adipokines and macrophage markers during pregnancy?Possible role for sCD163 in prediction and progression of gestational diabetes mellitus 

      Ueland, Thor; Michelsen, Annika; Aukrust, Pål; Henriksen, Tore; Bollerslev, Jens; Lekva, Tove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-13)
      <i>Aims</i> - The risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increased in overweight and obese women potentially involving secreted mediators from adipose tissue. Our main aim was to evaluate if circulating adipokines and monocyte/macrophage markers were dysregulated in GDM and the influence body mass and indices of glucose metabolism had on this association. We further explored if early detection ...

    • Circulating delta-like Notch ligand 1 is correlated with cardiac allograft vasculopathy and suppressed in heart transplant recipients on everolimus-based immunosuppression 

      Norum, Hilde Margrethe; Michelsen, Annika; Lekva, Tove; Arora, Satish; Otterdal, Kari; Olsen, Maria Belland; Kong, Xiang Yi; Gude, Einar; Andreassen, Arne K.; Solbu, Dag; Karason, Kristjan; Dellgren, Göran; Gullestad, Lars; Aukrust, Pål; Ueland, Thor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018-10-12)
      Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) causes heart failure after heart transplantation (HTx), but its pathogenesis is incompletely understood. Notch signaling, possibly modulated by everolimus (EVR), is essential for processes involved in CAV. We hypothesized that circulating Notch ligands would be dysregulated after HTx. We studied circulating delta‐like Notch ligand 1 (DLL1) and periostin (POSTN) ...

    • Elevated cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity early in pregnancy predicts prediabetes 5 years later 

      Ueland, Thor; Roland, Marie Cecilie; Michelsen, Annika; Godang, Kristin; Aukrust, Pål; Henriksen, Tore; Bollerslev, Jens; Lekva, Tove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-29)
      <i>Context</i> - Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) regulates high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and interaction between glucose, and HDL metabolism is central in the development of diabetes.<p> <p><i>Objective</i> - We hypothesized that CETP levels would be regulated in diabetic pregnancies. We tested the hypothesis by evaluating CETP activity measured multiple times during ...

    • Leptin and adiponectin as predictors of cardiovascular risk after gestational diabetes mellitus 

      Lekva, Tove; Michelsen, Annika E.; Aukrust, Pål; Henriksen, Tore; Jens, Bollerslev; Ueland, Thor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-10)
      Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in later life, but the mechanism remains unclear. Adipokine imbalance in the presence of metabolic dysfunction may be a key event in promoting CVD. The aim of the study was to examine the relationships between GDM, cardiovascular risk, and plasma adiponectin, leptin and the leptin/adiponectin ...

    • Prediction of gestational diabetes mellitus and pre-diabetes 5 years postpartum using 75 g oral glucose tolerance test at 14-16 Weeks' gestation 

      Lekva, Tove; Godang, Kristin; Michelsen, Annika E.; Qvigstad, Elisabeth; Normann, Kjersti R.; Norwitz, Errol R.; Tore, Henriksen; Bollerslev, Jens; Roland, Marie; Ueland, Thor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-06)
      Early detection and treatment of women at risk for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) could improve perinatal and long-term outcomes in GDM women and their offspring. We explored if a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 14-16 weeks of gestation could identify women who will (1) develop GDM or give birth to large-for-gestational-age (LGA) babies in 1031 pregnant women from the STORK study ...
