What is Fatty Acid Oxidation Pathways Explained about?
Fatty acid oxidation occurs primarily through β-oxidation in the mitochondria, with α and ω-oxidation as minor pathways. The process involves the activation, transport, and sequential removal of 2-carbon units from fatty acids, resulting in the production of acetyl-CoA, FADH2, and NADH. Ketone bodies are synthesized from acetyl-CoA in the liver and utilized as energy sources in other tissues, with excess production leading to ketosis and ketoacidosis under certain metabolic conditions.
