Lipid Metabolism: β-Oxidation of Saturated Fatty Acid (Palmitic Acid)
Lipid metabolism is a complex process involving the breakdown, synthesis, and regulation of fats within the body. One of the key processes in lipid metabolism is β-oxidation, a catabolic pathway by which fatty acid molecules are broken down in the mitochondria to generate acetyl-CoA, NADH, and FADH2. This note will provide a detailed overview of … Read more
