LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid biosynthesis

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid biosynthesis

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio of myristoleate to linolenate reflects the balance between de novo synthesis of monounsaturated fats (via SCD) and the intake/metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites not in a pathway but enzyme catalyzes one metabolite

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

SCD gene variation influences the myristoleate to linolenate ratio.1[1], 2[2], 3[3] This altered fatty acid profile is associated with myocardial infarction, hypercholesterolemia, and other cardiometabolic diseases, likely through effects on membrane fluidity, lipid signaling, and inflammation.4[4], 5[5], 6[6]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:SCD
