However, the conclusions were inconsistent, and the causal relationship between T2DM and AD remains unclear.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study, we aimed to explore the causal relationship between T2DM and AD using bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Mediation MR analysis was conducted to explore and quantify the possible mediation effects of 1400 metabolites in T2DM and AD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results of 26 datasets showed no causal relationship between T2DM and AD (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&amp;gt;0.05). Only one dataset (ebi-a-GCST90006934) showed that T2DM was a protective factor for AD (I9-AORTDIS) (OR=0.815, 95%CI: 0.692-0.960, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.014), and did not show horizontal pleiotropy (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.808) and heterogeneity (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.525). Vanillic acid glycine plays a mediator in the causal relationship between T2DM and AD. The mediator effect for vanillic acid glycine levels was -0.023 (95%CI: -0.066-0.021).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>From the perspective of MR analysis, there might not be a causal relationship between T2DM and AD, and T2DM might not be a protective factor for AD. If a causal relationship does exist between T2DM and AD, with T2DM serving as a protective factor, vanillic acid glycine may act as a mediator and enhance such a protective effect.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fendo.2024.1405517","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,13]],"date-time":"2024-05-13T04:30:36Z","timestamp":1715574636000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Causal
