Additionally, various blood metabolites were implicated: valine, arabinose, creatine, lysine, alanine, and apolipoprotein A1 were associated with early AMD; glutamine and hyodeoxycholate—with a reduced risk of dry AMD; and androsterone sulfate, epiandrosterone sulfate, and lipopolysaccharide—with a reduced risk of wet AMD. Here, APOA1 is linked to wet macular degeneration.
