Evaluating the Causal Roles of Matrix Metalloproteinases in Metabolic Syndrome: A Mendelian Randomization Study Highlighting MMP12 in Blood Pressure Regulation
Purpose This study aims to investigate whether matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are associated with the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components. Methods We conducted a two‐sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study by using 9 types of MMPs as exposures and MetS and its components (waist circumference, essen...
