LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid biosynthesis.3[1]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid metabolism.4[1]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio of laurate (12:0) to 5-dodecenoate (12:1n7) reflects the activity of desaturase enzymes like SCD, which convert saturated to monounsaturated fatty acids.

Ratio Evidence:

reaction where the ratio is shared through a pathway

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Altered SCD activity, reflected by the laurate to 5-dodecenoate ratio, is associated with changes in lipid profiles.5[1] These changes are linked to an increased risk of coronary atherosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia, and other related cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.6[2], 7[3]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:SCD
