    • Plasma phospholipid EPA and DHA are divergently associated with overall mortality in newly diagnosed diabetic patients: results from a follow-up of the Nord-Trøndelag Health (HUNT) Study, Norway 

      Lindberg, Morten; Åsberg, Arne; Midthjell, Kristian; Bjerve, Kristian S (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Data concerning the long-term effects of n-3 and n-6 PUFA on disease control and development of complications in diabetic patients are inconsistent. The relationship between plasma phospholipid PUFA and total mortality in ...
