17. Temporomandibular joint pain, hyperalgesia and allodynia in relation to interleukin-1ß and serotonin
Abstract : This thesis had two main aims and comprises a methodological and a clinical part.

20. Folate in cancer and cardiovascular disease : prospective studies from the population-based northern Sweden health and disease study
Abstract : BACKGROUND: Folate, a B-vitamin found primarily in fruits and vegetables, especially leafy greens, and other B-vitamins involved in folate metabolism are believed to protect against cancer and cardiovascular disease. Maintaining an adequate folate status ensures availability of methyl groups for DNA synthesis and for all methylation reactions in the body, and prevents the accumulation of homocysteine, a sulphur-containing amino acid that has been linked to cardiovascular disease.
