Mitochondrial and peroxisomal β-oxidation pathways differ in their location, function, substrate specificity, enzymatic mechanisms, and energy outcomes, although both are involved in fatty acid catabolism. Mitochondrial β-oxidation occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and is the primary pathway for the complete oxidation of most fatty acids to generate energy. In contrast, peroxisomal β-oxidation takes place in peroxisomes and mainly functions in the initial shortening of very long-chain fatty acids rather than direct energy production. Mitochondria preferentially oxidize short-, medium-, and long-chain fatty acids after their activation to acyl-CoA and transport via the
