Mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) is crucial in the prodcution of energy, especially during fasting and metabolic stress. Fatty acids (FAs) are oxidized through 4 reaction mechanisms, and this pathway describes the mitochondrial beta-oxidation of dietary long chain fatty acids. mitochondrial beta-oxidation of dietary long chain fatty acids Adapted from GenMAPP cf5 similiar to: ECHA_RAT fatty acid beta degradation pathway PW:0000738 Pathway Ontology 24058820 PubMed A method for measuring fatty acid oxidation in C. elegans.
