Video Summary of Fatty acid oxidation
Fatty acid oxidation is the process your body uses to break down and uses fatty acids for energy. This process occurs in the mitochondria of your cells. During fatty acid oxidation, a fatty acid is broken down into two molecules of acetyl coenzyme A (CoA). These molecules are then used by the mitochondria to produce energy.
