In this video I have explained the regulation of fatty acid oxidation in the mitochondria. The regulation is mainly going on over outer mitochondrial membrane. The main regulatory molecule is malonyl CoA controlling the activity of CPT I or CAT I.
Let me introduce myself to you!!
- Dr.Prakash Mungli, MD
- St. Kitts & Nevis
- I'm a physician doctor with an MD degree. My passion for teaching has always been appreciated by students with whom I have shared my knowledge. I'm a passionate teacher of medical biochemistry and would like to share my knowledge about this beautiful subject with all those who is interested to learn to understand the cellular metabolic events and to understand the metabolic disease process. I would like to learn new things by keeping myself updated with current research in the field. Let us share the knowledge each other!!

Regulation of Fatty Acid Oxidation

Beta Oxidation of a Fatty Acid
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.
