Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to investigate the potential causal relationship between the inflammatory factor matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and ischemic stroke (IS) using Mendelian randomization (MR), and to examine whether the gut microbiota-derived metabolite lithocholate sulfate (LSL) mediates this association. We performed a 2-sample MR analysis to assess the causal effect of genetically predicted MMP-1 levels...
