Fatty Acid Beta Oxidation_Biochemistry II

Fats make up the majority of the body's energy storage. This fat storage is composed primarily of triacylglycerides, which are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol. These fatty acids are then oxidized through beta oxidation in order to produce acetyl CoA for the citric acid cycle. In this video, you will learn the details of these metabolic pathways and how to calculate the total ATP production from fatty acids.
