      Trace elements are important for human health but may exert toxic or adverse effects. Mechanisms of uptake, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are partly under genetic control but have not yet been extensively mapped. ...
    • Trace element status in patients with type 2 diabetes in Norway: The HUNT3 Survey 

      Simic, Anica; Hansen, Ailin Falkmo; Åsvold, Bjørn Olav; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Midthjell, Kristian; Syversen, Tore; Flaten, Trond Peder (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Several epidemiological studies have indicated that a number of trace elements may play a role in type 2 diabetes (T2D). We investigated the association between prevalent T2D and the concentrations of 25 trace elements in ...
    • Trace Elements in Early Phase Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus – a Population-based Study. The HUNT Study in Norway 

      Hansen, Ailin Falkmo; Simic, Anica; Åsvold, Bjørn Olav; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Midthjell, Kristian; Syversen, Tore; Flaten, Trond Peder (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Differences in trace elements levels between individuals with type 2 diabetes and controls have been reported in several studies in various body fluids and tissues, but results have been inconsistent. In order to examine ...
    • Trace Elements in the General Population and Their Possible Role in Type 2 Diabetes - the Third Nord-Trøndelag Health Survey (HUNT3) 

      Simic, Anica (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:308, Doctoral thesis, 2017)
      Access to reliable information on the elemental contents of the human body is crucial to understand the roles these elements may have in the maintenance of human health. Establishing trace element blood levels in a general ...
    • Trace elements in whole blood in the general population in Trøndelag County, Norway: The HUNT3 Survey
