Effect of a single dose of the interleukin-6 receptor antagonist tocilizumab on inflammation and troponin T release in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Aims Interleukin-6 (IL-6) contributes to atherosclerotic plaque destabilization and is involved in myocardial injury during ischaemia–reperfusion. Interleukin-6 is therefore a potential therapeutic target in myocardial ... -
Effect of acoustic cluster therapy (ACT®) combined with chemotherapy in a patient-derived xenograft mouse model of pancreatic cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas respond poorly to chemotherapy, in part due to the dense tumor stroma that hinders drug delivery. Ultrasound (US) in combination with microbubbles has previously shown promise as a means ... -
Effect of Acoustic Radiation Force on the Distribution of Nanoparticles in Solid Tumors.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Acoustic radiation force (ARF) might improve the distribution of nanoparticles (NPs) in tumors. To study this, tumors growing subcutaneously in mice were exposed to focused ultrasound (FUS) either 15 min or 4 h after the ... -
Effect of Aerobic Exercise Intensity on Energy Expenditure and Weight Loss in Severe Obesity-A Randomized Controlled Trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objective This study aimed to compare the effects of two aerobic exercise programs of different intensities on energy expenditure. Methods This was a single‐center randomized controlled trial of patients with severe obesity ... -
Effect of DHA on growth of two human colon cancer cell lines - the role of ER stress and unfolded protein response
(Master thesis, 2014)Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) is an essential omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid important to human health. DHA has been shown to have anticancer properties by reducing cancer cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Importance Disulfiram has demonstrated broad antitumoral effect in several preclinical studies. One of the proposed indications is for the treatment of glioblastoma. Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ... -
The effect of glucagon on local subcutaneous blood flow in non-diabetic volunteers; a proof-of-concept study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction Glucagon and insulin are the two most important hormones for glucose metabolism and have been incorporated in the dual-hormonal artificial pancreas, a device for automated glucose regulation for people with ... -
Effect of High-Dose vs Standard-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation on Neurodevelopment of Healthy Term Infants: A Randomized Clinical Trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Importance Vitamin D may be important for neurodevelopment. The optimal daily dose of vitamin D for early brain development is not known. Objectives To test whether a higher (1200 IU) vs standard (400 IU) dose of ... -
Effect of intranasal oxytocin on alcohol withdrawal syndrome: A randomized placebo-controlled double-blind clinical trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background In a pilot study, intranasal oxytocin was demonstrated to reduce the benzodiazepine dose needed to relieve withdrawal symptoms during alcohol detoxification. The aim of the present study was to compare the ... -
The effect of intranasal oxytocin on processing emotional stimuli during alcohol withdrawal: A randomized placebo-controlled double-blind clinical trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Alcohol dependence is associated with difficulties in processing emotional stimuli, which can lead to interpersonal problems. The neuropeptide oxytocin has been shown to modulate the processing of emotional stimuli, however, ... -
