Blood-borne extracellular vesicles of bacteria and intestinal cells in patients with psychotic disorders
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Human cells and bacteria secrete extracellular vesicles (EV) which play a role in intercellular communication. EV from the host intestinal epithelium are involved in the regulation of bacterial gene expression ... -
Body composition and physical fitness in adults born small for gestational age at term: a prospective cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)There is lack of research on body composition and physical fitness in individuals born small for gestational age (SGA) at term entering mid-adulthood. We aimed to investigate these outcomes in adults born SGA at term. This ... -
Body composition in adults born preterm with very low birth weight
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Studies on body composition in preterm very low birth weight (VLBW < 1500 g) survivors are inconsistent and trajectories later in life unknown. We assessed body composition and its change from young to mid-adulthood ... -

Body Dysmorphic Symptoms in Youth with Obsessive-compulsive Disorder: Prevalence, Clinical Correlates, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Outcome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The aims of the study were to estimate the prevalence of body dysmorphic symptoms in a sample of children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder, possible clinical correlates and whether BDD symptoms predict ... -
Body mass index and incidence of lung cancer in the HUNT study: using observational and Mendelian randomization approaches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Traditional observational studies have shown an inverse association between body mass index (BMI) and lung cancer risk. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using genetic variants as instruments for BMI may ... -
Body mass index and physical activity in seven-year-old children whose mothers exercised during pregnancy: follow-up of a multicentre randomised controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background There are limited data on long-term outcomes of children whose mothers have followed exercise interventions during pregnancy. The aim of this paper was to investigate whether regular moderate intensity exercise ... -

Body mass index and subfertility: multivariable regression and Mendelian randomization analyses in the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)STUDY QUESTION What is the association between BMI and subfertility? SUMMARY ANSWER We observed a J-shaped relationship between BMI and subfertility in both sexes, when using both a standard multivariable regression ... -
Body weight and composition endpoints in cancer cachexia clinical trials: Systematic Review 4 of the cachexia endpoints series
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Significant variation exists in the outcomes used in cancer cachexia trials, including measures of body composition, which are often selected as primary or secondary endpoints. To date, there has been no review of the most ... -
Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 Gene Therapy in Mice Inhibits Myeloma Tumor Growth, But Has a Negative Impact on Bone
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Multiple myeloma is characterized by accumulation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. Most patients suffer from an osteolytic bone disease, caused by increased bone degradation and reduced bone formation. Bone ... -
Boosted production of antibodies that neutralized different SARS-CoV-2 variants in a COVID-19 convalescent following messenger RNA vaccination - a case study.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Vaccinated convalescents do not develop severe COVID-19 after infection with new SARS-CoV-2 variants. We questioned how messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccination of convalescents provides protection from emerging virus variants. ... -
