LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Omega-3 fatty acid biosynthesis4[1], 5[2]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Plasmalogen and glycerophospholipid metabolism6[1], 7[2]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio reflects FADS enzyme activity, where higher activity leads to increased DPA (numerator) and influences the fatty acid composition of plasmalogens (denominator).8[1], 9[2]

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites not in a pathway but enzyme catalyzes one metabolite

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

FADS gene variants alter LC-PUFA synthesis, impacting inflammatory and lipid metabolic pathways.10[1], 11[2], 12[3] This dysregulation is linked to phenotypes like valvular heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease, which have inflammatory and metabolic components.13[4], 14[5], 15[6]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:FADS1/FADS2
