LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingomyelin metabolism3[1], 4[2], 5[3]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid synthesis/metabolism6[1], 7[2], 8[3]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio reflects the balance between a very long-chain sphingomyelin and a glycosylated sphingosine, potentially indicating shifts in ceramide utilization between sphingomyelin synthesis and glycosphingolipid pathways.

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites related through biology

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

ISM1's role as an adipokine may influence systemic lipid metabolism, including sphingolipids, which are associated with cholelithiasis.2[1], 9[2], 10[3] Altered sphingolipid profiles, potentially influenced by ISM1, could impact bile composition and cholesterol crystallization, contributing to gallstone formation.10[4], 11[5], 12[6]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:ISM1
