In this article we will discuss about the process of oxidation of fatty acids. Oxidation of Even-Carbon, Saturated Straight Chained Fatty Acids: A. Activation of Fatty Acids: Before they are oxidized, fatty acids must be activated. This activation requires energy (supplied by ATP) and takes place in 2 steps, as may be seen in figure […]

The below mentioned article provides a short note on the Oxidation of Fatty Acids. Introduction to Oxidation of Fatty Acids: Fatty acids are oxidized by β-, α- and ω-oxidation. Quantitatively, β-oxidation is the most important pathway. The term β-oxidation means the oxidation takes place in the β-carbon of the fatty acid with the removal of […]
