LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid biosynthesis4[1], 5[2], 6[3]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid biosynthesis7[1], 8[2], 9[3]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio reflects Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase (SCD) activity, which influences the balance between different fatty acid species.10[1], 11[2], 12[3]

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites not in a pathway but enzyme catalyzes one metabolite

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Altered SCD gene function likely modifies the fatty acid profile, increasing the dihomo-linoleate to 10-heptadecenoate ratio. This imbalance is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases like myocardial infarction and hypertension, potentially through effects on lipid metabolism and inflammation.13[1], 14[2]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:SCD
