• 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 ...
    • Dysregulated non-coding telomerase RNA component and associated exonuclease XRN1 in leucocytes from women developing preeclampsia-possible link to enhanced senescence 

      Lekva, Tove; Roland, M.C.P.; Estensen, M.E.; Norwitz, Errol R.; Tilburgs, T.; Henriksen, Tore; Bollerslev, Jens; Normann, K.R.; Magnus, P.; Olstad, Ole Kristoffer; Aukrust, Pål; Ueland, T. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-05)
      Senescence in placenta/fetal membranes is a normal phenomenon linked to term parturition. However, excessive senescence which may be induced by telomere attrition, has been associated with preeclampsia (PE). We hypothesized that the telomerase complex in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and circulating telomere associated senescence markers would be dysregulated in women with PE. We measured ...
    • 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 ...
    • The European Union and the Arctic 

      Liu, Nengye; Kirk, Elizabeth A.; Henriksen, Tore (Book; Bok, 2017-09-11)
      The European Union and the Arctic brings together academics from a range of disciplines to discuss the EU's potential roles in shaping Arctic governance. The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the EU’s current Arctic policy framework. The second part focuses on the EU’s engagement with Arctic governance at the regional level and encompasses the EU’s engagement with the so-called ...
    • 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 ...
    • Mapping Key Past and Current Debate on Areas beyond National Jurisdiction 

      Henriksen, Tore (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-01-31)
      The history of the law of the sea is part and parcel of a wider vision for the law of nation’s connection with globalization.
    • Regulating shipping under conditions of uncertainty: The Arctic Ocean and knowledge-based decision-making. 

      Henriksen, Tore (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      This paper discusses the role of scientific research in regulating shipping in Arctic waters. Scientific research is a major provider of knowledge relevant to environmental protection, including that of the marine Arctic. Put bluntly, scientific research is essential in identifying an environmental ‘problem’, in providing an adequate diagnosis, and in prescribing solutions to the problem. In other ...
    • Snow Crab in the Barents Sea: Managing a Non-native Species in Disputed Waters 

      Henriksen, Tore (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-09)
      The introduction of a new species to the Barents Sea raises questions as to the rights and duties of states under the law of the sea to exploit, manage and conserve the species. This paper discusses three of them. The first question is whether the snow crab qualifies as a sedentary species. The entitlements and competence of states in respect of living marine resources depend on the location and the ...
