• Effects of fecal microbiota transplantation in subjects with irritable bowel syndrome are mirrored by changes in gut microbiome 

      Goll, Rasmus; Johnsen, Peter Holger; Hjerde, Erik; Diab, Joseph; Valle, Per Christian; Hilpüsch, Frank; Cavanagh, Jorunn Pauline (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-29)
      Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder of the lower gastrointestinal tract. The pathophysiology is far from settled, but a gut microbial dysbiosis is hypothesized to be a contributing factor. We earlier published a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial on fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for IBS – the REFIT trial. The present data set describes the engraftment ...
    • Lipidomics in ulcerative colitis reveal alteration in mucosal lipid composition associated with the disease state 

      Diab, Joseph; Hansen, Terkel; Goll, Rasmus; Stenlund, Hans; Ahnlund, Maria; Jensen, Einar; Moritz, Thomas; Florholmen, Jon; Forsdahl, Guro (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-11)
      <p><i>Background - </i>The onset of ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with alterations in lipid metabolism and a disruption of the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules. Only a few studies describe the mucosal lipid biosignatures during active UC. Moreover, the dynamics of lipid metabolism in the remission state is poorly defined. Therefore, this study aims to characterize mucosal ...
    • The Metabolome and Lipidome of Ulcerative Colitis 

      Diab, Joseph (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-10-09)
      The two major forms of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn’s Disease (CD), are characterized by a dysregulated mucosal immune response triggered by several genetic and environmental factors in the context of host-microbe interaction. This overwhelming complexity makes IBD ideal for metabolomic studies to unravel the disease pathobiology and to improve the patient ...
    • Mucosal Metabolomic Profiling and Pathway Analysis Reveal the Metabolic Signature of Ulcerative Colitis 

      Diab, Joseph; Hansen, Terkel; Goll, Rasmus; Stenlund, Hans; Jensen, Einar; Moritz, Thomas; Florholmen, Jon; Forsdahl, Guro (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-27)
      The onset of ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by a dysregulated mucosal immune response triggered by several genetic and environmental factors in the context of host–microbe interaction. This complexity makes UC ideal for metabolomic studies to unravel the disease pathobiology and to improve the patient stratification strategies. This study aims to explore the mucosal metabolomic profile in ...
    • A Quantitative Analysis of Colonic Mucosal Oxylipins and Endocannabinoids in Treatment-Naïve and Deep Remission Ulcerative Colitis Patients and the Potential Link With Cytokine Gene Expression 

      Diab, Joseph; Al-Mahdi, Rania; Gouveia, Sandra; Hansen, Terkel; Jensen, Einar; Goll, Rasmus; Moritz, Thomas; Florholmen, Jon; Forsdahl, Guro (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-22)
      <p><i>Background</i> - The bioactive metabolites of omega 3 and omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 and ω-6) are known as oxylipins and endocannabinoids (eCBs). These lipid metabolites are involved in prompting and resolving the inflammatory response that leads to the onset of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aims to quantify these bioactive lipids in the colonic mucosa and to ...
