• Postoperative Osteoporosis in Subjects with Morbid Obesity Undergoing Bariatric Surgery with Gastric Bypass or Sleeve Gastrectomy 

  Aaseth, Jan; Alexander, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)

  Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic accompanied by adverse health effects. The limited efficiency of traditional weight reduction regimens has led to a substantial increase in the use of bariatric surgery. Today, sleeve ...

• Increased SIRT1 Concentration Following Four Years of Selenium and Q<inf>10</inf> Intervention Associated with Reduced Cardiovascular Mortality at 10-Year Follow-Up—Sub-Study of a Previous Prospective Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Randomized Clinical Trial 

  Opstad, Trine Baur; Alexander, Jan; Aaseth, Jan; Larsson, Anders; Seljeflot, Ingebjørg; Alehagen, Urban (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)

  Background: Selenium and coenzyme Q10 (SeQ10) possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, potentially mediated via Sirtuin1 (SIRT1). We aimed to investigate the influence of a SeQ10 intervention on SIRT1 ...

• Selenium and coenzyme Q<inf>10</inf> improve the systemic redox status while reducing cardiovascular mortality in elderly population-based individuals 

  Dunning, Belinda J.; Bourgonje, Arno R.; Bulthuis, Marian L.C.; Alexander, Jan; Aaseth, Jan; Larsson, Anders; van Goor, Harry; Alehagen, Urban (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)

  Background Serum sulfhydryl groups (R–SH, free thiols) reflect the systemic redox status in health and disease, and may be amenable to therapeutic modulation. Since R–SH are readily oxidized by reactive species, oxidative ...
