Abstract excerpt
The liver produces various ketone bodies (KBs) including 3-Hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB), acetoacetate (AcAc), and acetone, with 3-OHB being the major component. Previous studies have shown that KBs protect against respiratory diseases; however, there is no evidence of a genetic link. To avoid biases existing in traditional observational studies, a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was carried out to...
