Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Derived Linoleic Acid Oxylipins, Small Vessel Disease Markers, and Neurodegeneration in Stroke
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background Cerebral small vessel disease is associated with higher ratios of soluble‐epoxide hydrolase derived linoleic acid diols (12,13‐dihydroxyoctadecenoic acid [DiHOME] and 9,10‐DiHOME) to their parent epoxides (12(13)‐epoxyoctadecenoic acid [EpOME] and 9(10)‐EpOME); however, the relationship has not yet been examined in stroke. Methods and Results Participants with mild to moderate small vessel stroke or large vessel stroke were selected based on clinical and imaging criteria. Metabolites were quantified by ultra‐high‐performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Volumes of stroke, lacunes, white matter hyperintensities, magnetic resonance imaging visible perivascular spaces, and free water diffusion were quantified from structural and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (3 Tesla). Adjusted linear regression models were used for analysis. Compared with participants with large vessel stroke (n=30), participants with small vessel stroke (n=50) had a higher 12,13‐DiHOME/12(13)‐EpOME ratio (β=0.251, P =0.023). The 12,13‐DiHOME/12(13)‐EpOME ratio was associated with more lacunes (β=0.266, P =0.028) but not with large vessel stroke volumes. Ratios of 12,13‐DiHOME/12(13)‐EpOME and 9,10‐DiHOME/9(10)‐EpOME were associated with greater volumes of white matter hyperintensities (β=0.364, P <0.001; β=0.362, P <0.001) and white matter MRI‐visible perivascular spaces (β=0.302, P =0.011; β=0.314, P =0.006). In small vessel stroke, the 12,13‐DiHOME/12(13)‐EpOME ratio was associated with higher white matter free water diffusion (β=0.439, P =0.016), which was specific to the temporal lobe in exploratory regional analyses. The 9,10‐DiHOME/9(10)‐EpOME ratio was associated with temporal lobe atrophy (β=−0.277, P =0.031). Conclusions Linoleic acid markers of cytochrome P450/soluble‐epoxide hydrolase activity were associated with small versus large vessel stroke, with small vessel disease markers consistent with blood brain barrier and neurovascular‐glial disruption, and temporal lobe atrophy. The findings may indicate a novel modifiable risk factor for small vessel disease and related neurodegeneration.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
