LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Branched-chain amino acid/odd-chain fatty acid catabolism.4[1], 5[2]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid ω-oxidation, peroxisomal β-oxidation.

Ratio Explanation:

6[1], 7[2] The ratio reflects the relative flux of short-chain acylcarnitines from mitochondrial versus peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation pathways and their transport by SLC22A1.

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites related through biology

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Reduced SLC22A1 function alters acylcarnitine efflux from the liver, impacting fatty acid metabolism. T1[1], 8[2], 3[3]his metabolic dysregulation, including altered handling of propionylcarnitine and adipoylcarnitine, is linked to elevated cholesterol and lipoprotein levels, which are established cardiometabolic risk factors.

Phenotype Driver:

8[1], 9[2], 10[3] Gene-centric:SLC22A1
