LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid biosynthesis

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid desaturation

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio of laurate (saturated) to palmitoleate (monounsaturated) reflects Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase (SCD) activity, which synthesizes the denominator from a palmitate precursor.3[1], 2[2]

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites not in a pathway but enzyme catalyzes one metabolite

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Altered Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase (SCD) activity, reflected by the laurate to palmitoleate ratio, influences fatty acid balance, contributing to cardiometabolic phenotypes like coronary atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia.4[1], 5[2], 6[3]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:SCD
