| Abstract | 1.1 The Metabolic Roles of Fatty Acids Fatty acids serve multiple functions. They are precursors for membrane biogenesis and lipid mediators, and are the largest energy reserve in the body supplying energy-yielding substrates by β-oxidation in mitochondria and peroxisomes. Mitochondrial fatty acid ß-oxidation (FAO) generates acetyl-CoA and reducing equivalents (NADH and FADH2), which are linked to the Krebs cycle and the mitochondrial respiratory chain, leading to ATP production by oxidative phosphorylation in aerobic tissues. |
