LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid hydroxylation

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid biosynthesis/metabolism

Ratio Explanation:

This ratio reflects the conversion of stearate to 9-hydroxystearate, potentially indicating activity of fatty acid hydroxylating enzymes relative to stearate availability.

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites not in a pathway but enzyme catalyzes one metabolite

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Genetic variants near SCD influence its activity, altering stearate metabolism.1[1], 2[2] This dysregulation is linked to changes in lipid profiles, contributing to atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia.3[3], 4[4]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:SCD
