Disorders of fatty acid metabolism and imbalance in the ratio of monounsaturated fatty acids promote the development of pulmonary fibrosis

Although some studies suggested that metabolic abnormalities may contribute to the development of pulmonary fibrosis, there are no studies that have reported a clear causal relationship between them, and the aim of this study was to explore the causal relationship between plasma metabolites and pulmonary fibrosis using Mendelian randomization (MR) combined with metabolomics analysis.
