Abstract:Extensive research has demonstrated the critical role of selenium (Se) and selenoproteins in brain function and cognition. However, the impact of Se on brain cortical structure remains enigmatic. Therefore, this study used Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal effect between Se levels and brain cortical structure.MethodsThis study utilizes 11 genetic variants associated with Se level variations, extracted from a large‐scale genome‐wide association study (GWAS) encompassed circulating … Show more
