      Steffensen, Linn Hofsøy; Jørgensen, Lone; Straume, Bjørn; Mellgren, Svein Ivar; Kampman, Margitta Theodora (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a possible cause of secondary osteoporosis. In this phase II trial we assessed whether a weekly dose of 20,000 IU vitamin D3 prevents bone loss in ambulatory persons with MS age 18–50 years. ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT00785473. All patients managed at the University Hospital of North Norway who fulfilled the main inclusion criteria were invited to participate in this ...

    • The phosphodiesterase 8B gene rs4704397 is associated with thyroid function, risk of myocardial infarction and body height. The Tromsø Study 

      Jorde, Rolf; Schirmer, Henrik; Wilsgaard, Tom; Joakimsen, Ragnar Martin; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Njølstad, Inger; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Figenschau, Yngve Anton; Svartberg, Johan; Hutchinson, Moira Strand; Kjærgaard, Marie; Jørgensen, Lone; Grimnes, Guri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Objective: High serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels predict cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recently several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with TSH levels have been identified, one of them being the rs4704397 SNP in the phosphodiesterase 8B (PDE8B) gene. If the relation between thyroid function and CVD is causal, one could also expect rs4704397 genotypes to predict CVD and possibly ...

    • Serum osteoprotegerin and renal function in the general population: The Tromsø Study 

      Vik, Anders; Brodin, Ellen Elisabeth; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Brox, Jan; Jørgensen, Lone; Njølstad, Inger; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-03)
      <p><i>Background</i>: Serum osteoprotegerin (OPG) is elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and increases with decreasing renal function. However, there are limited data regarding the association between OPG and renal function in the general population. The aim of the present study was to explore the relation between serum OPG and renal function in subjects recruited from the general ...
