Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factor exposure in individuals free from cardiovascular disease differs according to age at first myocardial infarction
TL;DR: Exposure to cholesterol and family history of MI more strongly predicts onset of MI at younger ages, suggesting that MI in younger subjects is preceded by a different risk factor pattern than MI presenting in older subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
FADD, Caspase-3, and Caspase-8 and Incidence of Coronary Events.
Ling Xue,Yan Borné,Ingrid Yao Mattisson,Maria Wigren,Olle Melander,Marju Ohro-Melander,Eva Bengtsson,Gunilla Nordin Fredrikson,Jan Nilsson,Gunnar Engström +9 more
TL;DR: The in vitro experiments support the view that these biomarkers could reflect activation of the extrinsic apoptotic pathway and were associated with increased incidence of CE in subjects from the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel microRNA regulators of atrial natriuretic peptide production
Connie Wu,Pankaj Arora,Obiajulu Agha,Liam A. Hurst,Kaitlin Allen,Daniel I. Nathan,Dongjian Hu,Pawina Jiramongkolchai,J. Gustav Smith,Olle Melander,Sander Trenson,Stefan Janssens,Ibrahim J. Domian,Thomas J. Wang,Kenneth D. Bloch,Emmanuel S. Buys,Daniel Bloch,Christopher Newton-Cheh +17 more
TL;DR: This study used a multifaceted screening strategy that integrates bioinformatics, next-generation sequencing data, human genetic association data, and cellular models to identify additional functional NPPA-targeting miRNAs that could be targeted to raise ANP levels, which may have applications for the treatment of hypertension or heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complement C3 Associates With Incidence of Diabetes, but No Evidence of a Causal Relationship.
Yan Borné,Iram Faqir Muhammad,Laura Lorés-Motta,Bo Hedblad,Peter M. Nilsson,Olle Melander,Eiko K. de Jong,Anna M. Blom,Anneke I. den Hollander,Gunnar Engström +9 more
TL;DR: Plasma concentration of C3 is a risk marker for incidence of diabetes and the results suggest that this association could, in part, be explained by pleiotropic effects related to the GCKR gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carotenoids and alkylresorcinols as objective biomarkers of diet quality when assessing the validity of a web-based food record tool and a food frequency questionnaire in a middle-aged population
Sanna Nybacka,Anna Karin Lindroos,Elisabet Wirfält,Per Leanderson,Rikard Landberg,Rikard Landberg,Ulrika Ericson,Ingrid Larsson,Eva Warensjö Lemming,Göran Bergström,Bo Hedblad,Marju Orho-Melander,Olle Melander,Anna Winkvist,Heléne Bertéus Forslund +14 more
TL;DR: Both dietary assessment methods were able to capture dietary intake based on food groups with a similar precision and the ability to capture whole grain intake was weak for both methods and sexes, but the assessment of vegetable and fruit intake performed in a satisfactory manner for women in both methods.
