Grethe Støa Birketvedt,Jon Florholmen,Johan Sundsfjord,Bjarne Østerud,David F. Dinges,Warren B. Bilker,Albert J. Stunkard +6 more
TL;DR: A coherent pattern of behavioral and neuroendocrine characteristics was found in subjects with NES, and night eaters had attenuation of the nocturnal rise in plasma melatonin and leptin levels and higher circadian levels of plasma cortisol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Night eating syndrome among nonobese persons
Heidi M. Marshall,Kelly C. Allison,John P. O'Reardon,Grethe Støa Birketvedt,Albert J. Stunkard +4 more
TL;DR: The striking similarity in the characteristics between obese and nonobese subjects with the NES indicates that this disorder, considered until now to occur primarily among obese persons, also occurs amongnonobese persons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tissue levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha correlates with grade of inflammation in untreated ulcerative colitis
Trine Olsen,Rasmus Goll,Guanglin Cui,Anne Husebekk,Barthold Vonen,Grethe Støa Birketvedt,Jon Florholmen +6 more
TL;DR: TNF-α is highly expressed in UC and correlates to the grade of inflammation, and Cytokine expression (mRNA) profiles seem to be similar in patients with moderate to severe UC and CD.
Journal Article
Experiences with three different fiber supplements in weight reduction.
TL;DR: Glucomannan induced body weight reduction in healthy overweight subjects, whereas the addition of guar gum and alginate did not seem to cause additional loss of weight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term effect of fibre supplement and reduced energy intake on body weight and blood lipids in overweight subjects.
TL;DR: The results suggest that a dietary fibre supplement in combination with a hypocaloric diet is of value as an adjunct in the management of overweight.
