In this video I have explained all the reactions involved in beta-oxidation of even number saturated fatty acid. Beta oxidation of a fatty acid will take place in the mitochondrial matrix. Fatty acid will be oxidized into acetyl CoA which will undergo TCA cycle and ketone body synthesis. Oxidation of fatty acid needs sufficient riboflavin and niacin to maintain the coenzyme needs. Defect in oxidation can lead to impaired ATP generation under fasting condition.
