LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid hydroxylation

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid biosynthesis

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio may reflect stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) activity, where higher values suggest increased hydroxylation relative to the synthesis of odd-chain fatty acids.

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites not in a pathway but enzyme catalyzes one metabolite

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

SCD gene variants can alter lipid metabolism, influencing the ratio of 9-hydroxystearate to margarate.1[1], 2[2], 5[3], 3[4] This altered lipid profile is associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and hypertension, likely through effects on membrane composition and signaling pathways.1[5], 6[6]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:SCD
