The beta oxidation of fatty acids involve three stages: 1. Activation of fatty acids in the cytosol 2. Transport of fatty acids into mitochondria (carnitine shuttle) 3. Beta oxidation proper in the mitochondrial matrix

The breakdown of fatty acids occurs in a 4 step process. The steps are dehydrogenation, hydration, oxidation, and thiolysis. The entire process is beta oxidation.

Cytoplasmic fatty acyl CoA is converted to fatty acyl carnitine by carnitine acyl transferase (CAT I), an enzyme of the inner leaflet of the outer mitochondrial membrane. Fatty acyl carnitine is then trransported by an antiport in exchange ...

The four reactions of B-oxidation produce reduced NADH and reduced FADH2 at each step, breaking off an Acetyl CoA from the chain. You keep removing Acetyl CoA, a 2 carbon fragment, until you have nothing more to break down and the oxidation...
