Summary Introduction
To review:
The steps in beta-oxidation and the step that represents the actual oxidation reaction.
Introduction:
Beta-oxidation is the process of breaking down of fatty acids into acetyl CoA, FADH2 (Flavin adenine dinucleotide), and NADH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Beta-oxidation represents the degradation of fatty acids, which is done by the removal of two fragments of carbon from the carboxyl terminal of fatty acids.
