Using #MendelianRandomization, new study finds higher iron status is associated with an increased risk of cardioembolic stroke, independent of other CV risk factors. #AHAJournals @AlexaBarad @theobrienlab @CornellNutri https://t.co/h7Ecl2reoh

Looking forward to presenting the results from our study evaluating the associations between iron status and ischemic stroke risk at #ISC24 in Phoenix! https://t.co/Ldg4Ivik8Q @AHAScience @theobrienlab

Read our most recent publication in #AJCN by our graduate student @AlexaBarad and co-authors!

[Alexa Barad, PhD, MS, RD @AlexaBarad]

Just published in #AJCN! We found placental ferroportin (the only known iron exporter in mammals) to be strongly associated with neonatal rather than maternal iron status and erythropoietic drive. @theobrienlab @nutritionorg @AJCNutrition @CornellNutri
