Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Statins are currently widely used in the prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD) primarily for lipid-lowering with a potential anti-inflammatory effect. However, it is not clear if their potential anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through the interleukin 6 (IL-6) signaling pathway. METHODS: Using the Mendelian randomization (MR) approach followed by multivariable MR analyses, we examined the...
