![Figure 381: Mediation analysis diagram illustrating the potential pathway through which eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) may influence ulcerative colitis (UC) risk via circulating metabolites. Direct and indirect effects are quantified using two-step Mendelian randomization, highlighting metabolites that may partially mediate the observed association.]()
