Six proteins link branched-chain amino acids to heart disease
The six proteins accounted for 6.5% to 32.1% of the link between branched-chain amino acids and ischemic heart disease risk in a genetic analysis.The six proteins accounted for 6.5% to 32.1% of the link between branched-chain amino acids and ischemic heart disease risk in a genetic analysis.
Mendelian randomizationMechanisms
Who was studiedPeople with ischemic heart disease and controls
What changedThe six proteins accounted for 6.5% to 32.1% of the effect of branched-chain amino acids on ischemic heart disease risk
The catchThe study evaluated genetic proxies; direct dietary intake was not measured
