LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid desaturation4[1]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

De novo fatty acid synthesis5[1], 6[2], 7[3]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio of myristoleate to palmitate is an index of SCD activity, which converts saturated fatty acids (like myristic acid, a precursor related to palmitate) to monounsaturated fatty acids.1[1], 3[2], 4[3]

Ratio Evidence:

reaction where the ratio is shared through a pathway

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

SCD gene activity influences the myristoleate to palmitate ratio. Altered ratios of saturated to monounsaturated fatty acids are associated with atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction, linking the gene, ratio, and phenotypes.1[1], 8[2], 9[3], 10[4]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:SCD
