Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have revealed a relationship between plasma branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) levels and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, this connection has not been thoroughly explored due to potential biases such as confounders or reverse causality. We performed a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore the potential causal association between plasma...
