Beta oxidation is the process by which fatty acids are broken down in the mitochondria to generate acetyl-CoA molecules, producing energy. There is a three step process: 1) activation of fatty acids in the cytosol, 2) transport into the mitochondria, and 3) beta oxidation within the mitochondrial matrix. This involves a series of reactions that cleave two carbon units from the fatty acid in each cycle, generating acetyl-CoA and reducing equivalents like NADH and FADH2. Ketone bodies are produced from acetyl
