Unravelling the role of alanine in mental disorders: a Mendelian randomisation study.

Journal of nutritional science - 1 Jan 2026

Huang Xin, Zhao Jie V

Abstract excerpt

Alanine, commonly found in meaty foods and popular as a sports supplement, has interactions with neurotransmitters and brain energy supply, but its impact on mental health remains uncertain. This two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) study aimed to investigate causal associations of plasma alanine with major mental disorders-depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, and attention-deficit...
