It discusses the biochemistry of fatty acid breakdown, emphasizing enzyme roles and pathways such as mitochondrial and peroxisomal beta-oxidation, alpha- and omega-oxidation. Additionally, it covers regulation aspects, including carnitine transport and hormonal influences, and highlights peroxisomal functions.

Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes and maintain acidity to prevent self-digestion, while also being involved in waste disposal; deficiencies can lead to lysosomal storage diseases. Peroxisomes are responsible for fatty acid breakdown and detoxifying hydrogen peroxide, with disorders such as X-ALD and Zellweger syndrome resulting from malfunctions.
