A two-sample Mendelian randomization study reveals the causal effects of statin medication on gut microbiota abundance in the European population
This Mendelian randomization analysis indicates a causal relationship between statin medication and six gut microbiota species. These findings may provide new strategies for health monitoring in populations taking long-term statin medications.
