Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Highlights Causal Relationships Between Circulating INHBC and Multiple Cardiometabolic Diseases and Traits
16 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
Human genetic and transgenic mouse studies have highlighted a potential liver-adipose tissue endocrine axis, involving activin C (Act-C) and/or Act-E and ALK7, influencing fat distribution and systemic metabolism. We investigated the bidirectional effects between circulating INHBC, which homodimerizes into Act-C, and adiposity traits, insulin resistance, inflammation, and cardiometabolic disease risk....
