The research aims to explore the relationship between metal elements and cardiometabolic diseases via free fatty acids.
Examined the connection between metallomics and free fatty acids (FFAs)
Analyzed associations between metal elements and cardiometabolic disease markers
Identified free fatty acids as potential biomarkers for metal exposure
Demonstrated a mediating role of FFAs in the association with cardiometabolic diseases
Abstract
Our findings provide exploratory evidence connecting metallomics with FFAs and cardiometabolic diseases, suggesting FFAs as potential biomarkers for metal exposure and cardiometabolic diseases prevention.
