Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Smokers are at increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. We investigated if the smoking-T2D association is mediated by alterations in the metabolome and assessed potential interaction with genetic susceptibility to diabetes or insulin resistance. METHODS: In UK Biobank (n = 93,722), cross-sectional analyses identified 208 metabolites associated with smoking,...
