Sex-Specific Causal Relations between Steroid Hormones and Obesity—A Mendelian Randomization Study

Sex-Specific Causal Relations between Steroid Hormones and Obesity—A Mendelian Randomization Study

Steroid hormones act as important regulators of physiological processes including gene expression. They provide possible mechanistic explanations of observed sex-dimorphisms in obesity and coronary artery disease (CAD). Here, we aim to unravel causal relationships between steroid hormones, obesity,...
