Glycerol can be readily converted to DHAP for oxidation in glycolysis or synthesis into glucose in gluconeogenesis. Fatty acids are broken down in two carbon units of acetyl-CoA. To be oxidized, they must be transported through the cytoplasm attached to coenzyme A and moved into mitochondria. The latter step requires removal of the CoA and attachment of the fatty acid to a molecule of carnitine.

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.
