LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Glycerolipid metabolism.3[1]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Glycerophospholipid metabolism.4[1]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio reflects FADS1/FADS2 enzymatic activity, indicating the conversion rate of linoleic acid (18:2) precursors into arachidonic acid (20:4) containing diacylglycerol.5[1], 6[2], 7[3]

Ratio Evidence:

reaction where the ratio is shared through a pathway

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Genetic variation in FADS1 alters polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) synthesis, reflected in the ratio.1[1], 8[2] This dysregulates lipid and inflammatory mediator levels, plausibly increasing risk for hypercholesterolemia, cholelithiasis, and inflammatory diseases like asthma, which show significant association.2[3], 9[4], 10[5], 11[6], 12[7]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:FADS1
