LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid omega-oxidation.4[1], 5[2], 6[3]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid beta-oxidation.7[1], 8[2], 9[3]

Ratio Explanation:

This ratio compares byproducts of omega-oxidation (adipoylcarnitine) and beta-oxidation (hexanoylcarnitine), with an elevated ratio potentially indicating mitochondrial stress or impaired beta-oxidation.

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites related through biology

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Altered SLC transporter function (or mitochondrial stress suggested by SOD2) may modify the ratio, a marker for mitochondrial dysfunction, a known risk factor for dyslipidemia and coronary atherosclerosis.10[1], 11[2], 12[3]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:SLC22A1
