Relationship Between Serum Amino Acid Levels and Bone Mineral Density: A Mendelian Randomization Study

BackgroundThis study aimed to explore the association between serum amino acids (AAs) levels and bone mineral density (BMD).MethodsWe performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to analyze the associations between the levels of eight AAs and BMD values by using summary-level genome-...
