Metabolism of Fat

  • Occurs through beta oxidation.
  • Results into production of acetyl CoA molecules
  • These enters the Kreb’s cycle and are oxidized to carbon dioxide and water.
  • The glycerol is first converted to dihydroxy acetone phosphate which is then converted to acetyl ATP.
  • The net gain is 22 mole per mole of glycerol of ATP from ADP.
