Lesson 23 : Fatty acid Degradation

Fatty acid degradation is the process in which fatty acids are broken down into their metabolites, resulting in release of its energy to the target cells. It includes three major steps:

Lipolysis of triglycerides and release from adipose tissue
Activation and transport into mitochondria
?-oxidation
