Circulating beta-carotene levels and type 2 diabetes-cause or effect?

Circulating beta-carotene levels and type 2 diabetes-cause or effect?

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Circulating beta-carotene levels are inversely associated with risk of type 2 diabetes, but the causal direction of this association is not certain. In this study we used a Mendelian randomisation approach to provide evidence for or against the causal role of the antioxidant vitami...
