Personalized Profiling of Lipoprotein and Lipid Metabolism Based on 1018 Measures from Combined Quantitative NMR and LC-MS/MS Platforms

Anal Chem. 2024 Dec 16. doi: 10.1021/acs.analchem.4c03229. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Applications of advanced omics methodologies are increasingly popular in biomedicine. However, large-scale studies aiming at clinical translation are typically siloed to single technologies. Here, we present the first comprehensive large-scale population data combining 209 lipoprotein measures from a…

Associations of Cumulative Adulthood, Childhood and Life-long Insulin with Adulthood Retinal Microvasculature

J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2024 Dec 11:dgae865. doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgae865. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT CONTEXT: Exogenous insulin is reported to have both vasodilatory and vasoconstrictive effects on the microvasculature. Little is known about the associations of long-term endogenous insulin exposure with microvasculature. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that long-term exposure…

Efficient Search Algorithms for Identifying Synergistic Associations in High-Dimensional Datasets

Entropy (Basel). 2024 Nov 11;26(11):968. doi: 10.3390/e26110968. ABSTRACT In recent years, there has been a notably increased interest in the study of multivariate interactions and emergent higher-order dependencies. This is particularly evident in the context of identifying synergistic sets, which are defined as combinations of elements whose joint interactions result…

Associations between Leisure and Work Time Activity Behavior and 24 H Ambulatory Blood Pressure among Aging Workers

Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2024 Nov 6. doi: 10.1249/MSS.0000000000003594. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Purpose: The associations between work time, leisure-time, and non-workday physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SED) and 24 h ambulatory blood pressure (BP) are not well known. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate…

Sex-specific associations between maternal prenatal inflammation and offspring cortical morphology in youth: A harmonised study across four birth cohorts

Brain Behav Immun. 2024 Nov 4:S0889-1591(24)00692-5. doi: 10.1016/j.bbi.2024.11.010. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Maternal immune activation (MIA) during pregnancy is implicated in offspring psychiatric disorders. However, it is unknown to what extent MIA affects neurodevelopment, particularly cerebrocortical anatomy, in the general population, and whether effects differ by sex. The current…
