      Background The aetiology of delirium is not known, but pre-existing cognitive impairment is a predisposing factor. Here we explore the associations between delirium and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of matrix ...
    • Higher concentrations of kynurenic acid in CSF are associated with the slower clinical progression of Alzheimer's disease 

      Knapskog, Anne Brita; Aksnes, Mari; Edwin, Trine Holt; Ueland, Per Magne; Ulvik, Arve; Fang, Fei; Eldholm, Rannveig Sakshaug; Halaas, Nathalie Bodd; Saltvedt, Ingvild Tina; Solvang, Stein-Erik Hafstad; Watne, Leiv (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      INTRODUCTION The kynurenine pathway's (KP) malfunction is closely related to Alzheimer's disease (AD), for antagonistic kynurenic acid (KA) and agonistic quinolinic acid act on the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, a ...
    • Sex-specific associations of kynurenic acid with neopterin in Alzheimer’s disease 

      Knapskog, Anne-Brita; Edwin, Trine Holt; Ueland, Per Magne; Ulvik, Arve; Fang, Fei; Eldholm, Rannveig Sakshaug; Halaas, Nathalie Bodd; Solvang, Stein-Erik Hafstad; Saltvedt, Ingvild Tina; Watne, Leiv; Aksnes, Mari (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Background: Sex differences in neuroinflammation could contribute to women’s increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), providing rationale for exploring sex-specific AD biomarkers. In AD, dysregulation of the kynurenine ...
    • Sex-specific associations of matrix metalloproteinases in Alzheimer’s disease 

      Aksnes, Mari; Edwin, Trine Holt; Saltvedt, Ingvild Tina; Eldholm, Rannveig Sakshaug; Chaudhry, Farrukh Abbas; Halaas, Nathalie Bodd; Myrstad, Marius; Watne, Leiv; Knapskog, Anne Brita (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Introduction Alzheimer’s disease (AD) can be characterised in vivo by biomarkers reflecting amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau pathology. However, there is a need for biomarkers reflecting additional pathological pathways. Matrix ...
