Fatty acid oxidation, also known as β-oxidation, is a metabolic process by which fatty acids are broken down to generate energy. Palmitic acid, a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid, serves as a key example in this process. The oxidation of palmitic acid occurs primarily in the mitochondria and involves several stages, each contributing to the production of ATP. The first step is the activation of palmitic acid, which occurs in the cytoplasm. Palmitic acid is converted to palmitoyl-CoA through the action of the enzyme acyl-CoA synthetase, utilizing ATP
