Statistical mediation of the relationships between chronological age and lipoproteins by nonessential amino acids in healthy men
Aging is a major risk factor for metabolic impairment that may lead to age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease. Different mechanisms that may explain the interplay between aging and lipoproteins, and between aging and low-molecular-weight metabolites (LMWMs), in the metabolic dysregulati...

Aging is a major risk factor for metabolic impairment that may lead to age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease. Different mechanisms that may explain the interplay between aging and lipoproteins, and between aging and low-molecular-weight metabolites (LMWMs), in the metabolic dysregulation associated with age-related diseases have been described separately. Here, we statistically evaluated the possible mediation effects of LMWMs on the relationships between chronological age and lipoprotein concentrations in healthy men ranging from 19 to 75 years of age. Relative and absolute concentrations of LMWMs and lipoproteins, respectively, were assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Multivariate linear regression and mediation analysis were conducted to explore the associations between age, lipoproteins and LMWMs. The statistical significance of the identified mediation effects was evaluated using the bootstrapping technique, and the identified mediation effects were validated on a publicly available dataset. Chronological age was statistically associated with five lipoprotein classes and subclasses.
