APOE Polymorphism and Endocrine Functions in Subjects with Morbid Obesity Undergoing Bariatric Surgery
Farup, Per Grønaas; Jansen, Aina; Hestad, Knut; Aaseth, Jan; Rootwelt, Helge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: Obesity is an interplay between genes and the environment, including lifestyle. The genetics of obesity is insufficiently understood. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genetic polymorphism has been associated with a wide ... -
APOE – a genetic marker of comorbidity in subjects with morbid obesity
Farup, Per Grønaas; Rootwelt, Helge; Hestad, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: In population-based studies, the genetic variability of the APOE E alleles have been associated with health outcomes. Health problems are common in subjects with obesity. This study explored associations between ... -
Changes in circulating sirtuin 1 after bariatric surgery
Opstad, Trine Baur; Farup, Per Grønaas; Rootwelt, Helge; Aaseth, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background and aims: Obesity is associated with chronic inflammation and oxidative stress.
