Causal Inference of Carnitine on Blood Pressure and potential mediation by uric acid: A mendelian randomization analysis
Background: Dietary change alters blood pressure (BP) but the specific causal dietary elements are unclear.Given previous observational data suggesting serum carnitine or uric acid affect BP, we investigated the role of serum carnitine and serum uric acid concentrations on BP, and considered mediation by lipids and insulin resistance using two-samp
